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.

Natural hybrids
gollark: Some systems will conveniently go back to an equilibrium regardless of how hard you poke them. Some will not, and might just vary wildly or get stuck in one state or whatever.
gollark: That isn't actually true except in specific technical contexts.
