Nepenthes alata (/ n ɪ ˈ p ɛ n θ iː z ə ˈ l ɑː t ə /; from Latin alatus "winged") is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines. [7] [17] 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.
Natural regeneration is very scarce. Seedlings can be found as far as 200 m from mother trees, especially between buttresses. Height increment in a 2-year-old plantation was 0.7 – 2.9 m and diameter increment is 0.6 – 3.8 cm. Petersianthus quadrialatus trees coppice easily.
The plant grows beside streams in damp forests, or in ravines. There are several other species of Strongylodon, but the superficially similar red jade vine, Mucuna bennettii, is a species belonging to a different genus, Mucuna. [12] It seems to be endemic to the Philippines and is usually found in forests. Propagation has always been difficult.
