Borneo's mountains reveal a new species of orangutan-colored giant pitcher plant

A team of botanists at Malaysia's Sabah Forestry Department's Forest Research Centre, working with a pair of colleagues from Australia, has identified a new species of giant pitcher plant growing on the ultramafic mountains in central Sabah, Borneo. In their paper published in the Australian Journal of Botany, the group describes how they came to know of the plant and what they found when they ventured to the site where the plant had reportedly been sighted.
