The lower pitcher of Nepenthes rafflesiana, a type of pitcher plant, is a distinct leaf structure designed to trap insects and small creatures. Found closer to the ground, these pitchers are usually larger and exhibit a different shape compared to upper pitchers. They often have a wider opening and a more elongated form. The lower pitchers collect rainwater, which can dilute the digestive fluid inside. Similar to upper pitchers, they have slippery surfaces and downward-pointing hairs to prevent captured insects from escaping. These specialized traps help the plant supplement its nutrient intake from the prey it catches.
