Of California's total plant population, 2,153 species, subspecies, and varieties are endemic and native to California alone, according to the 1993 Jepson Manual study. [4] This botanical diversity stems not only from the size of the state, but also its diverse topographies , climates, and soils (e.g. serpentine outcrops ).
The good news for the milkvetch plant is that they usually need wildfire to sprout — meaning dormant seeds now have a massive new habitat for a new crop of the rare shrub.
Nepenthes mirabilis at the Periyar Tiger Reserve, in Southern Western Ghats of India. Nepenthes species usually consist of a shallow root system and a prostrate or climbing stem, often several metres long and up to 15 m (49 ft) or more, and usually 1 cm (0.4 in) or less in diameter, although this may be thicker in a few species (e.g. N. bicalcarata).
Nepenthes robcantleyi, or Robert Cantley's pitcher plant, [2] is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippine island of Mindanao. [1] It is closely allied to N. truncata and was once considered a dark, highland form of this species. [3] Nepenthes veitchii from Borneo is also thought to be a close relative. [1]

Nepenthes × kinabaluensis (centre) dwarfs its smaller parent species, N. villosa (left). This list of Nepenthes natural hybrids is a comprehensive listing of all recorded natural hybrids involving species of the carnivorous plant genus Nepenthes. Hybrids that are not endemic to a given region are marked with an asterisk.
Nepenthes gantungensis is an upright, climbing or scrambling plant. The stem, which may be branched in vining plants, [6] reaches a maximum length of around 4 m. It is cylindrical and varies in diameter from 2.5 to 3.5 cm. Internodes are typically 2–20 cm long, becoming elongated in climbing specimens.
