Nepenthes vogelii

A small, mostly epiphytic pitcher plant from submontane and lower montane forest in northern Borneo, at about 1000–1500 m. Because it lives high on trunks and branches it is rarely collected, and little is written about its ecology.

Where it grows wild

Usually an epiphyte in tall submontane or lower montane forest. The type plant was found growing on the ground among moss in wet kerangas (heath) forest. On Mount Mulu it grows alongside N. stenophylla and N. veitchii, and no natural hybrids are known.

Literature gives 1000–1500 m, and 1200–1500 m on Mount Mulu. The measured sites span about 750–2000 m, and most of the weight falls near 1350 m, which fits.
