Nepenthes morphological characteristics:
Nepenthes are perennial vines with stalks of wood or semi-wood, almost 3 meters high, climbing on trees or growing along the ground. The leaves are generally oblong and have a cage at the end for easy climbing. At the end of the cage, a bottle-shaped or funnel-shaped insect cage is formed with a cage. Nepenthes grows only after many years of growth. The flowers are generally racemes, a few are panicles, dioecious, flowers are small and dull, and the taste is light and slightly fragrant during the day; the evening tastes strong and turns bad. Its ornamental nature cannot be compared with the insect trap. The fruit is a capsule, which is cracked when mature.
Pest cage: The main purpose of planting pitcher plants is to watch its peculiar insect-catching organs. The pitcher cage of the pitcher plant develops from the end of the cage. When a new leaf grows out, it has an embryonic cage at the end of the cage.
In the early stage, the surface of this prototype is covered with a layer of hair quilt, which gradually falls off during the growth process. The embryonic form of the insect trap is yellow-brown and flat. When it grows to 1~2cm, it gradually turns green or red and begins to expand. Before the cage was opened, its unique colors, patterns and spots appeared on the insect cage. When the cage is opened, the lips at the mouth of the cage will continue to develop, widen and become larger, and will roll outward or inward. At the same time, the lips begin to show color, and some bottles have stripes of different colors on the lips. At this time, the insect trap has matured, and it can be observed that insects fall into it in a few days.
Each leaf of the pitcher plant can only produce one insect trap. If the insect cage is wilted or damaged, the original leaves will not grow a new insect trap. Only the new leaves will grow. A new insect trap is available.
The pitcher cage of the pitcher plant consists of a cage and a cage. The cage has a structure such as a cage mouth, a lip, a wing, a digestive gland, and a waxy area, and the cage has a structure such as a nectary and a keel. In addition, some pitcher cages also have appendages. The caged tail appears at the junction of the cage and the cage. At the same time, the same pitcher cage of the same pitcher plant will grow two different types of insect traps. For this reason, it often causes troubles in classification, which makes people mistakenly think that it is two different pitcher plants.
In Southeast Asia, locals use the pitcher cage of N. ampullaria as a container to cook "Nepenthes". They stuffed rice, meat and other ingredients into the insect cage and steamed them. The practice of "Nepenthes Rice" is similar to that of scorpion. It is a specialty food and has a Southeast Asian flavor.
