Nepenthes sericea is a tropical
Etymology
The name for this species, "sericea", was derived from the Latin word which "silken", in reference to the notably fine hairs that are softer to the touch in comparison to the coarse bristles of Nepenthes macfarlanei.[1]
Phenology
The species was observed to flower throughout the year.[1]
Distribution and ecology
Individuals of N. sericea were recorded at the several peaks of the Titiwangsa Range with an elevation range of 1,300 meters above sea level and reaching an upper limit of 2,180 meters above sea level on the peak of Gunung Korbu, the highest mountain in the range.[1]
This particular species can be found growing terrestrially or as epiphytic plants within mossy forests, as well as on top of scrub-covered mountain peaks. The lower pitchers of this plant form and often become encased in a dense layer of Sphagnum moss.[1]
