Nepenthes ampullaria Jack is a carnivorous plant native to swamps in the humid tropical lowlands of the Malaysian Peninsula, Sumatra, Singapore, Borneo, and New Guinea. The species was 'discovered' in 1819 by William Jack, a botanist and surgeon with the East India Company. William Jack's discoveries of the unique species of the Oceanic Islands helped encourage the founding of the Singapore Botanic Gardens in 1822. William Jack died that same year at age 27. The plant's name and description were published in the Companion to the Botanical Magazine in 1835. (w3TROPICOS, Missouri Botanical Garden)

 

Nepenthes ampullaria is a woody vine that forms rosettes of trapping leaves. In hanging basket cultivation, the rosettes usually arise from the base when the original vine  droops off the side of the pot. In its native habitat, the rosettes may arise anywhere along the vine. The basal ascidia (traps) are numerous and squatty; the upper ascidia are few and more cylindrical in shape. The operculum (lid) is narrow and opens completely allowing rain to enter. 'Amps' often have a dusty appearance due to thick coating of fine trichomes (hairs).
