Map of the Eastern Hemisphere marking the locations of two pitcher plant species. The Seychelles pitcher plant is pictured near Africa, and the Slender pitcher plant is pictured near the South China Sea. A white dashed line stretches between them to mark their 6000 km of separation.

Black and white image showing a rain drop rebounding off the springboard lid of a pitcher plant. Two black ants are in the process of falling into the plant. A third ant is perched on the outside of the pitcher.

Many pitcher plants hanging in nature. They are variable in size, shape, and color, despite being part of the same plant.
