Nepenthes campanulata

Nepenthes campanulata (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz kæmˌpænjʊˈlɑːtə/; from Late Latin campānulātus "bell-shaped"), the bell-shaped pitcher-plant,[3] is a tropical pitcher plant native to Borneo. It has also been reported from Palawan, the Philippines, though further field work is needed to confirm this identification.[4][5]

Forest fires destroyed the only known population of N. campanulata in 1983 and it was uncertain whether the species had survived elsewhere or was in fact extinct.[6] It was rediscovered in 1997, several hundred kilometres from the type locality. Nepenthes campanulata is listed as Vulnerable on the 2014 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]

Nepenthes campanulata has no known natural hybrids.[7] No infraspecific taxa have been described.[6]
