Nepenthes cid Jebb & Cheek (2013) |
Nepenthes cid is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Philippines. It is known only from Bukidnon Province, Mindanao, where it has been recorded as an epiphyte on tall trees at 770 m altitude.
This species belongs to the informal "N. micramphora group", which also includes N. abgracilis from northeastern Mindanao and N. micramphora from southeastern Mindanao.
The specific epithet cid refers to F. Cid of the University of the Philippines herbarium, who collected the type specimen in 1952.
