Its impressive pitchers can grow to around 30 cm tall, developing a rounded, swollen base that narrows through the middle before opening into a gently funnel-shaped upper section. The pitchers are robust and sculptural in appearance, complemented by a strongly arched lid and the plant’s characteristic covering of fine, elongated brown hairs across its stems, leaves and pitchers.
