Pitcher :Rat Eating Plant

“A spectacular new species of Nepenthes L.(Nepenthaceae) pitcher plant from central Palawan, Philippines” was published in the Botanical Journal of Linnean Society in February 2009.


The pitcher plant is among the largest of all pitchers and is so big that it can catch rats as well as insects in its leafy trap.
