Nepenthes densiflora

A highland pitcher plant endemic to the mountains of northern Sumatra, growing at 1,700–3,200 m. It needs cool nights, bright light and constantly humid air, like other ultrahighland Nepenthes. Published habitat detail is thin, so the targets below come from the elevation and from related Sumatran highland species.

Where it grows wild

Upper montane and mossy forest and open, stunted summit vegetation on the mountains of northern Sumatra, including Mount Kemiri in Gunung Leuser National Park. Like related Sumatran highland species, it scrambles through moss-covered shrubs and grows terrestrially in open, wet ground, with upper pitchers on climbing stems.

Recorded at 1,700–3,200 m, which makes it a highland to ultrahighland species. The wild records carry no elevations.
