ID 275204631 © Jivenggo | Megapixl.com
Recently described in 2018 by naturalists Marcello Catalano and Trong Kruetreepradit, N. orbiculata is distinguished by location and its unique pitcher morphology. They were previously called mirabilis var. globosa or ‘Viking’. Unlike the former, this species is only found off the shores of Thailand on the island of Phang Nga. Until DNA studies are done we won’t know for sure if its a true species or not. It may just be an extremely isolated population of mirabilis.
