Nepenthes alata
Nepenthes alata (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz əˈlɑːtə/; Latin: alatus "winged") is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines. Like all pitcher plants, it is carnivorous and uses its nectar to attract insects that drown in the pitcher and are digested by the plant. It is highly polymorphic, and its taxonomy continues to be subject to revisions.
