The most species-diverse genus of carnivorous plants, with over 170 species of tropical pitcher plants. Pitchers hang from tendrils at the tip of modified leaves and contain digestive fluid. Extraordinarily variable in size (pitchers from 5 cm to 50 cm) and morphology. Some highland species trap rats and other vertebrates. Genus of enormous horticultural interest with thousands of registered hybrids.
