Nepenthes harauensis
A pitcher plant described in 2022 from the Harau area of Lima Puluh Kota, West Sumatra. It has thick, leathery, stalked, elliptic-oblong leaves, and the tendril joins the leaf on the underside (peltate). It is related to the montane N. bongso and N. singalana. The type collection comes from 1100–1400 m, so treat it as a highland-intermediate plant, not a lowlander.
Where it grows wild
Little habitat detail is published beyond the type collection, which came from Harau at 1100–1400 m. That puts it in submontane forest on the ridges above the sandstone Harau valley. Its relatives, N. bongso and N. singalana, grow in mossy montane forest, climbing through shrubs or growing on the ground in clearings and on ridges.
The type locality is at 1100–1400 m. The one site in our measured climate sits at 82 m, far to the east, and is not a real locality for this plant (see data disagreements).
