Nepenthes maryae
A highland pitcher plant from Central Sulawesi, known from a single herbarium specimen collected in 2000 at 2100 m on a ridge in submontane mossy forest. It belongs to section Tentaculatae, the small-pitchered group around N. tentaculata, and differs in having short hairs under the pitcher lid. Almost nothing is recorded about its ecology, so the growing advice here is generalised from its habitat notes and its better-known Sulawesi and Bornean relatives.
Where it grows wild
The only collection was made on a ridge in submontane mossy forest, where it grew alongside N. eymae, N. nigra and N. tentaculata. Relatives in section Tentaculatae are slender climbers with small pitchers that grow among moss, low shrubs and forest-edge vegetation in cool, cloudy, very wet mountain forest.
The single known collection is from 2100 m. The true elevation range is unknown.
