Nepenthes rosea |
Nepenthes rosea is a tropical
above sea level.[1] Nepenthes rosea got its name from their pitchers which often have uniformly pink interiors.[1] It has been seen growing in sand and humus in varying proportions, on both vertical and flat ground in clearings, scrubland, and open forests.[1] Nepenthes rosea was formally described by Marcello Catalano and Trongtham Kruetreepradit in December 2014.[2] It is unusual in that it sometimes produces a rosette along the peduncle.[1] Nepenthes rosea belongs to the N. thorelii aggregate.[1]
