| N. eymae lower pitcher |
| One of the more unusual pitcher shapes is that of the vessels of N. eymae. Moreover, the dimorphism of the upper and lower pitchers is quite pronounced. The picture at left shows the less commonly seen lower pitcher of the species. This is a very entertaining plant to grow, and the upper pitchers dry with minimal distortion, which makes them easy to preserve. Cultivation and rate of growth are the same as for most highland Nepenthes. |
