    It was a tiring day to explore in the mountain area near Sarawak-Kalimantan border, but after seeing Nepenthes fusca for the first time in my life......I think I wouldn't regret to walk so far into the jungle!!! Hoooray!!!



    I was pretty excited when I found Nepenthes fusca growing on a hill slope......





    What a beautiful (unopened) pitcher of Nepenthes fusca :




    N. fusca is only can be found in the jungle above 2500 feet:






    Another N. fusca:





    Wow....look at this pitcher...beautiful, isn't it?
