Pitcher Plants

Pitcher plants are found in South Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Western New Guinea. They are also called Monkey Cup. In Mandarin, they are known as 猪笼草。

Pitchers contain liquid. When insects and small animals like lizards come to drink the nectar at the mouth of the pitcher, they fall in and are drowned. The plant juices then absorb them.

Carnivorous plants usually live in nitrogen poor soils.

The inside of the tubular shaped leaf is lined with downward pointing hairs. These hairs block an insect from climbing up the tube and escaping.
