Nepenthes Burbidgeae x Aristolochioides 

🌱Nepenthes Burbidgeae x Aristolochioides (Highland) N. Burbidgeae is slow growing that's notable for its massive and colorful ovate pitchers. Upper and lower pitchers mainly differ in size. The peristome is striped and the lids are whitish with green and red dots. A small pair of wings runs down the front of each pitcher. The stem of N. Burbidgeae named in honor of the first collector (F. W. Burbidge), reaches a length of 15 meters. The habitat consists of mossy places on the tops of steep ridges with a patchy distribution around Mount Kinabalu and neighbouring Mount Tambuyukon in Sabah, Borneo at elevation of 3,900 - 5,900 feet. N. Burbidgeae was discovered in 1858 on Mount Kinabalu (Borneo) and described in 1882 by J. D. Hooker. Although this plant is a highland species, it prefers slightly very warmer temperatures and slightly shady growing conditions. It is listed as Endangered by the IUCN. N. Aristolochioides is endemic to Sumatra, where it grows at elevations of 5,900–8,200 feet above sea level. It has an extremely unusual pitcher morphology, having a nearly vertical opening to its traps. It is listed as critically endangered in the wild due to over collection.
