Nepenthes hamiguitanensis

A highland pitcher plant known only from the summit ridge of Mount Hamiguitan in Mindanao, Philippines, at 1200–1600 m. It grows on the ground in montane forest and forest edges, in partial shade and humus-rich soil, with heavy rain all year. It may have arisen from hybridisation between N. micramphora and N. peltata, but wild populations are stable and uniform.

Where it grows wild

Grows terrestrially in primary montane forest and along forest margins, preferring partial shade under forest cover to exposed sites. The soil is rich in humus, although the mountain is ultramafic. It is absent from the stunted bonsai forest on the summit plateau.

Recorded from 1200 to 1600 m, and commonest above 1400 m. The measured site is at about 1560 m.
