Nepenthes boschiana
A member of the N. maxima complex that is endemic to the Meratus Mountains of South Kalimantan, in Indonesian Borneo. It is listed as Endangered. Its original collector described the habitat as sterile, open and stony. Very little ecological data exists, so the growing advice here is a cautious middle ground between lowland and highland conditions.
Where it grows wild
Sterile, open, stony ground in the Meratus Mountains, as the original collector Korthals described it. It produces large upper pitchers, for example on Mount Sakumbang. The sources used here do not give its forest type or say whether it climbs into trees.
The sources used here give no altitude range. The single measured record is at about 316 m on a coarse grid near 40 m, and the Meratus Mountains rise to about 1900 m, so its real range may be higher and cooler than measured.
