Nepenthes, popularly known as Tropical Pitcher Plants or Monkey Cups, a native of Southeast Asia and Australia, forms pitchers (cups) that hang from trees. Its pitcher is similar to that of the North American pitcher plant in that it relies on a pool of water to trap its prey. It has a most unusual leaf that first looks like a normal leaf, then develops a tendril at its tip, and finally the tip of the tendril develops an amazing pitcher. It gains support by twining the tendril around another plant. The trap, lures its prey into the pitfall trap by a combination of decaying odors and sometimes a red coloration. As the pitcher develops, it swells and droops due to its weight. They attract insects with the odor of nectar. Once inside, the insect finds it cannot get a grip on the walls of the pitcher because a flaky wax on the interior surface peels off as it struggles to climb. The name 'Monkey Cups' refers to the fact that monkeys have been observed drinking rainwater from these plants. There are currently 91 listed species of Nepenthes. This picture was taken in the Orchideeënhoeve (Orchid Farm) in Luttelgeest, the Netherlands. Nepenthes is een geslacht van tropische bekerplanten die beker-vormige vallen ontwikkelen om kleine dieren te vangen, waarna deze worden verteerd. Het zijn typisch klimplanten die groeien in mistige, met mos bedekte wouden op tropische bergen of in lager gelegen bossen. Het voornaamste verspreidingsgebied is Zuidoost Azië, en dan vooral Indonesië en de regio daaromheen. Er zijn 91 soorten bekend. Afhankelijk van de soort worden de vangbekers wel 40 tot 50 centimeter groot. Per soort en zelfs binnen de soort verschillen vorm en afmeting sterk. De typische vorm is min of meer cilindervormig, de onderste helft heeft vaak een buikje, met een afgeronde bodem. Bij jonge bekers is de deksel op de val nog gesloten en zijn de verteringssappen steriel. Na het openen blijft de deksel onbeweeglijk. Het is dus geen deur die open en dicht kan gaan. De deksel dient als paraplu om vollopen en overstromen van de beker tegen te gaan en als landingsplaats vol met nectar voor de prooidieren. Onderin de beker zit een verteringszone, die dicht met klieren is bezet. Deze klieren scheiden verteringssappen af en nemen de opgeloste voedingsstoffen van de prooi op. Aan de rand bij de ingang zitten klieren die nectar maken; een zoete, geurende vloeistof waardoor insecten worden gelokt. Als een insect erin valt, kan het er door de gladde wanden en de nauwe ruimte niet meer uit en wordt het verteerd. De foto is genomen in de Orchideeënhoeve in Luttelgeest (Noordoostpolder, Flevoland). ____________________ All rights reserved. Copyright © Martien Uiterweerd.
