| The pitcher of this species forms a well-developed hood over the pitcher opening. Once inside the pitcher, a crawling insect is guided deeper into the pitcher by the light coming through white areoles - strategically positioned "deceptive" exits. Down-pointing, intermeshing hairs are well developed in this species for a large portion of the pitcher tube. |
