Nepenthes burkei
Nepenthes burkei, named after British plant collector David Burke, is a tropical pitcher plant native to the island of Mindoro in the Philippines, where it grows at an elevation of 1100–2000 m.[2] It is very closely related to N. sibuyanensis and N. ventricosa. It has only recently entered wider cultivation.
