About

Nepenthes mantalingajanensis is a tropical pitcher plant known only from the summit region of Mount Mantalingajan, the highest point on the Philippine island of Palawan, after which it is named.

Where it grows

Nepenthes mantalingajanensis has only been recorded from the summit region of Mount Mantalingajan on the island of Palawan in the Philippines. It is likely to also be present on the ridge that connects Mount Mantalingajan to its lower peaks, but confirmation of this would require further exploration. The altitudinal distribution of this species extends from 1,700 m above sea level to the summit at 2,085 m.
