Isotopic Evidence for Leaf Litter Utilization by the Tropical Pitcher Plant Nepenthes ampullaria.

The plant shown prominently at the beginning of the article is probably Nepenthes ampullaria (Nepenthes are found in the jungles of south-east asia) and is not Philcoxia minensis.

Morphological correlates of necromass accumulation in the traps of an Eastern tropical pitcher plant, Nepenthes ampullaria Jack, and observations on the pitcher infauna and its reconstitution following experimental removal.

The forest contains many Borneoan biota, including Nepenthes ampullaria and gracilis, kalulut beetles, kalim panas tree, Aquilaria agallocha (highly prized for its scented wood, now very rare), and the unusual buttressed Shorea (known in India as "Sal").

Not exclusively confined to orchids, there are many neotropical detrivorous species which have developed the ability to collect and digest leaf litter, such as Platycerium and Nepenthes ampullaria, with ferns and bromeliads observed as being more efficient decomposers than orchids or other epiphytic species.
