Nepenthes malimumuensis is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Pantaron Range on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines, where it grows at elevations of 1000–1020 m above sea level.[1]
The species was compared to N. sumagaya.[1][2] Nepenthes malimumuensis can be distinguished from N. sumagaya by its upper pitcher wings, that are reduced to ribs or not apparent, having four-five nerves on either side of the midrib, and the lid appendage is reduced to a keel, whereas the latter's upper pitcher wings are occasionally present in some pitchers close to peristome, having 1-2 nerves on either side of the midrib, and lid appendage are occasionally present.[1][2]
Etymology
[edit]The specific epithet malimumuensis denotes that the species was discovered from Mt. Malimumu.[1]
