Nepenthes holdenii
Nepenthes holdenii is a climbing tropical pitcher plant from the Cardamom Mountains of western Cambodia, growing at 600–800 m. It needs warm, humid conditions and bright light, and is grown mainly by specialist collectors.
Nepenthes holdenii is a tropical pitcher plant from western Cambodia, where it grows at elevations of 600–800 m above sea level.
The species was originally known from only two peaks in the Cardamom Mountains, but the discovery of a new population was reported in October 2011.
Nepenthes holdenii occurs in localities situated in the transitional zone between lowland evergreen forest and low montane evergreen forest. The researchers found the pitcher plant in two separate places in the Cardamom mountains, but they have decided not to share the exact location to protect the species. They reported that the pitcher plants were found between 600 and 800 meters above sea level. The mountains on which N. holdenii was found are in the Pursat Province of Cambodia, in Phnom Kravanh (the Cardamom Mountains). This range extends along the Cambodian border, and it contains a varied landscape of isolated mountains and low hills. This area experiences a tropical monsoon climate, with distinct rainy and dry seasons.
