N.Gracilis nearby waterfalls in Johor.

[alienfx]

I went to a water fall in johor 2 weeks ago.After having fun in the water,i decided to jungle walk abit and this is what i found at the road side.Prefectly hidden.The area is very wet and humid.Cold but not as cold as Cameron Highlands.



A little close-up.


At the bottom.Hidden by dead leaves.


When leaves removed and comes the red pitchers.They are actually basels from main root.Anybody noticed the bird poo which barely missed the pitcher mouth.

The leaf and pitcher ratio is so big.Wonder why the pitchers can get so big with such small leaves.All the bottom pitchers are red and top pitchers are green.

Baby plantlets.

The plants itself are tall vines.Climbing on trees.Some of the leaves act as support by wrapping around tree branches.Hence,not all the leaves have pitchers.

The overview of the area.Water source is nearby.


The soil type.Muddy clay with lots of dead leaves.


The waterfall nearby.

Unknown plant.Does anyone know what plant is this?



Sorry for the lousy pictures due to my hp camera and im not a profesional photographer.I was only at the road side for around 1/2 hour because it started to rain and i had to call a cab to pick me up.I could not find any nep flowers while i was there.Hope there are more neps further in the jungle with bigger pitchers.
