Nepenthes talaandig
A pitcher plant known only from the Pantaron Range in central Mindanao, Philippines, where it grows on the ground in ultramafic soil at about 1000 m. It was described in 2014 and is named after the Talaandig people, on whose land it grows. Little has been published about its habitat, so treat it as an intermediate-to-highland Nepenthes that needs warm days, mildly cool nights and constant humidity.
Where it grows wild
Grows on the ground in nutrient-poor ultramafic soils on the Pantaron Range, a forested range in central Mindanao. The published notes give no detail on canopy cover. Ultramafic sites in the Philippines usually carry stunted, open vegetation, so it probably grows in bright, partly open scrub or at forest edges rather than in deep forest.
Reported at about 1000 m. There are no wild GBIF records with coordinates, so elevation was not measured.
