Nepenthes limiana

Species of pitcher plant endemic to Peninsular Malaysia

Nepenthes limiana is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the northern Titiwangsa Range in Peninsular Malaysia. Nepenthes limiana was compared to Nepenthes sericea and Nepenthes sanguinea. The species differs from N. sericea by its upper pitchers being narrowly cylindrical which has an infundibular base with a pitcher hip on the lower part as compared to the wholly infundibular pitcher with a pitcher hip just below the mouth or pitchers that are basally infundibular turning cylindrical to slightly infundibular above the medial hip in N. sericea. Additionally, the narrowly oblanceolate to almost linear laminae that are slightly decurrent and the proportionally wider and bulbous peristome of the lower pitchers which are often flared and crenellated characterize this species from the sessile and oblanceolate to obovate-oblong laminae and the proportionally thinner peristome that are expanded near column only and not crenellated in N. sericea.
