Nepenthes cid

A tiny-pitchered Nepenthes known only from Bukidnon Province on Mindanao, Philippines, where it was recorded as an epiphyte on tall trees at 770 m. Described in 2013 from a 1952 collection, it belongs to the N. micramphora group, with small subcylindrical pitchers that narrow at the middle and widen towards the base. It is effectively unknown in the wild (two individuals reported) and very little is recorded about its conditions, so the care below is inferred from its elevation and relatives.
