Nepenthes of KalBar

On the second day of exploration, we headed toward Tayan town; it was a long dusty latarite road. There is too much human activity along way plus its dry season, hence we couldn’t find a good fishing spot but instead we found a good Nepenthes habitat in this area.

Red ampullaria is not rare in KalBar at all.

Herman found something that is unexpected while we approaching a logging trail. I was concentrating on a puddle in front of me for fish but suddenly Herman said to us, look, bicalcarata! From that moment, we realized that its surrounding us.

This is a >20 feets tall old plant with stunning looking upper pitchers.
