Nepenthes madagascariensis
One of only two Nepenthes from Madagascar, growing at low altitude along the east coast from the Tolagnaro area in the south to the Masoala Peninsula. It forms stands on the drier margins of swamps and on open, bright, sandy or peaty ground. At home it behaves as a warm-growing lowland pitcher plant that wants strong light, constant moisture and warm nights.
Where it grows wild
Terrestrial in open, bright places: the relatively dry edges of coastal swamps and sandy or peaty flats with low scrub, where it can form almost pure stands. Stems scramble up to about 1 m through surrounding vegetation.
A lowland species. The 74 wild records with elevation span 5–271 m, median 18 m, which fits the coastal swamp-margin habitat described in the literature.
