First record of functional underground traps in a #PitcherPlant: #Nepenthes pudica (#Nepenthaceae), a new species from North #Kalimantan, #Borneo https://phytokeys.pensoft.net/article/82872/

N. pudica features #underground pitchers, where it catches and consumes prey such as #mites, leaf litter-inhabiting #beetles and #ants. It is the first known pitcher plant species to use pitfall traps within the #subterranean environment.
