N. sibuyanensis lower pitcher
From the Phillipines and relatively new to cultivation, N. sibuyanensis is a species with which we now have about four years experience.  It seems to grow and pitcher quite readily under typical highland (or possibly intermediate) conditions.  The pitcher shown is about 16 cm in height.
