Nepenthes bellii
Nepenthes bellii is a climbing tropical pitcher plant from the Philippines that uses its tendrils to scramble over vegetation. It is a species, not a genus, and it needs humid, bright conditions to produce its pitchers.
Nepenthes bellii is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippine islands of Mindanao and Dinagat, where it grows at elevations of 0–800 m above sea level.
The specific epithet bellii honours American botanist Clyde Ritchie Bell.
Nepenthes bellii is endemic to the Philippines. It is common on Dinagat and northern Mindanao; its presence in southern Mindanao is "poorly documented" due to ongoing conflicts. As such, it is native to at least the provinces of Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur. It has an altitudinal distribution of 0–800 m above sea level.
