Nepenthes malimumuensis is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Pantaron Range on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines, where it grows at elevations of 1000–1020 m above sea level.[1]

The species was compared to N. sumagaya.[1][2] Nepenthes malimumuensis can be distinguished from N. sumagaya by its upper pitcher wings, that are reduced to ribs or not apparent, having four-five nerves on either side of the midrib, and the lid appendage is reduced to a keel, whereas the latter's upper pitcher wings are occasionally present in some pitchers close to peristome, having 1-2 nerves on either side of the midrib, and lid appendage are occasionally present.[1][2]

Etymology[edit]

The specific epithet malimumuensis denotes that the species was discovered from Mt. Malimumu.[1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
