From Pathfinder Wiki
- Apparently monkeys have been seen drinking from "cups."
- A distinctive globular trap at the end of leaf tendril, which is an extension of the leaf midrib; possesses an operculum.
- If not nutrient challenged, may not form a pitcher.
- May have a lower pitcher that is different from an upper pitcher (occasionally may have 1 or 2 additional intermediate pitchers). The lower pitcher is usually larger, more colorful, has "wings" and sits on the ground. The tendril attaches in front or the side of the cup. It forms when plants are young and more rosette. The upper (aerial) pitcher is smaller, often more delicate with the tendril attaching at the rear. It forms when the plant is more mature and a climbing vine. The tendril may have "curls" to aid in climbing. Usually no "wings."
- In the same plant, there may be different linings. The lower waxy lining for ants and walking prey, and the upper viscoelastic lining for flying prey.
