Attenborough's Pitcher Plant
Introduction
Intro
I am reseaching about the Nepenthes Attenboroughii or The Attenborough Pitcher Plant. I chose this plant because it is highly rare/endangered and just generally love canivorous plants. This plant will allow me to expand my scientific knowledge about plants and organisms.
Habitat and Ecosystem
Habitat and Ecosystems
This species is natively restricted to the Victoria Massif in Palawan. It grows from 1450 m above sea level to the summit of Mount Victoria at 1726 m.Originally it had only been found on Mount Victoria itself, it has since been found on the largest peak of the Victoria Massif, Mount Sagpaw, and along the connecting ridges. It is found among shrubs 0.8–1.8 m tall in relatively scattered populations of plants on rocky,igneous soil.

Benifits of growing in the mountains
Mountain living means always being amongst that cool, refreshing air. There are direct benefits to clean air, such as lower .Another good thing about living in the Mountains is that it has a lot of increase and decrease in humidity which is perfect for the Nepenthes Attenboroughii because it has grown to love changes in humidity. Which helps it grow and replenish its sticky fluid that helps catch its prey.

Disadvantages of growing in the mountains
The sun is very strong. Since the sun’s rays have less atmosphere to go through, you are much more likely to lose a lot of energy from using continuous active photosynthesis. Like, even after 10 or 15 minutes.This happens even on a cloudy day. Over time you become dehydrated more quickly, so the plant has to collect a lot of water/fluids to stay hydrated. Even in winter.
Classification and Taxonomy
Classification and Taxonomy
Classification
Class consisting of roughly 170,000 species of angiosperms. Often referred to as the dicotyledons - dicots for short. Dicots are not now recognized as a natural phylogenetic group. A subset of the dicots are a natural group and are referred to as Eudicots.
Vegetative Characteristics: Dicots are diverse in habit, with half of all the species being more or less woody-stemmed - a reflection of the usual presence of a vascular cambium in the class. Annuals, biennials, vines, epiphytes, aquatics, parasites, and saprotrophs are also well represented in dicots. Vascular bundles of the stem are usually borne in a ring that encloses the pith. Vessel elements present except in some putatively primitive woody or aquatic families. Most dicots have a primary root system derived from the radicle, although some have an adventitious root system commonly seen in the class of monocots. Cotyledons are usually 2, seldom 1, 3, or 4. Leaves are mostly net-veined.
Reproductive Characteristics: Floral parts - especially the perianth - are arranged in a spiral or more commonly in definite numbers: typically borne in sets of 5, less often 4, seldom 3. Pollen is typically 3-pored (or derived) except in some putatively primitive dicot families.
