Nepenthes krabiensis
A pitcher plant described in 2016 from Krabi Province in peninsular Thailand, where it grows at about 600–700 m. It is closely related to Nepenthes rosea, a Krabi endemic of sandy, open clearings and scrub, and belongs to the same group of seasonally dry Thai hill species. Published detail is very thin, so grow it as a bright-light, warm intermediate Nepenthes that expects a drier season.
Where it grows wild
Known only from Krabi Province, southern Thailand. The literature available gives little habitat detail beyond altitude; its close relative N. rosea grows on sand and humus in clearings, scrubland and open forest on both flat ground and vertical banks, and N. krabiensis very likely occupies similar open, sunny hill vegetation.
Recorded at 600–700 m, slightly higher than N. rosea at 450–520 m. This is an intermediate rather than a true highland altitude.
