Default Nepenthes "Coconut Tree"

The conditions must be very harsh for them to grow like that. Signs of being scorch by the sun over and over again.

Interesting, especailly the second one looks like it has just been there for so many years, never being able to turn into a 'big' plant it has just kept turning out enough leaves to keep a green canopy and a fresh batch of pitchers to keep it alive!

Interesting.. Thanks for sharing.. what species are these BTW..? growing on such an inhospitable rock surface, I would suspect it to be something like northiana or albo (but leaves don't look like albo)..

I have seen gracilis in such state in a disturbed heath forest where trees were chopped by wood cutters thus exposed the forest and made barren progressively. This demonstrate their survival adaptation in a very harsh environment that non will be able to made in an open heath forest, already deprived of nutrients.
