BTW. MT have this as a variety(Bareo). However, heard that it is not the best representation of this species. Anyone have the one from MT for comparison?...
Fortunately, according the wikipedia, this species is still not under threat (hopefully nowhere in future).
Robert, more newbie questions. I am city boy. ;-) Is this place hard to get to. I mean Batu Lawi and Bareo area. Far from Kuching? These pitchers would be a very nice photography subject, if ever I get to go to East Malaysia.

The MT form would be pink pitcher with yellowish peristome.
Bario was a remote village. Getting to Batu Lawi was a 1.5 to 2 days journey on foot. There is no road but jungle trails. Guide and porters are necessary to carry food and drinking water.
