N. mirabilis along the Cambodian coast

[Sockhom]

Hello,

Here is a tribute to N. mirabilis, an underrated species, as far as I can see. ;-)

I observed it several times along the Cambodian coast. I won't give you new informations about that widespread species. It grows in wet spots and in open habitats. Most of the plants I saw look exactly like the pictures I used to admire in the Nepenthaceae literature.
Just enjoy those elegant "pots"!

Open habitat, wet, with short shrubs and grasses.

The most beautiful mirabilis in Cambodia (as far as I know) are found in Kbal Chay:
