Nepenthes gymnamphora is a tropical carnivorous pitcher plant from the mountains of Sumatra and Java, found at 600 to 2,800 m altitude. It is a cool-to-moderate highland species that needs humid, well-drained conditions and bright light to grow well.
Nepenthes gymnamphora is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra. It has a wide altitudinal range of 600–2,800 metres (2,000–9,200 ft) above sea level. There is much debate surrounding the taxonomic status of this species and the taxa N. pectinata and N. xiphioides.
The specific epithet gymnamphora is derived from the Greek words gymnos (naked) and amphoreus (pitcher).
