Heliamphora heterodoxa

Heliamphora heterodoxa is a species of marsh pitcher plant, a carnivorous plant of the genus Heliamphora, native to Venezuela and the adjacent part of Guyana. Its name comes from the Greek words heteros, meaning other, and doxa, meaning opinion or belief. The plant was first found in 1944 on the slopes that join Ptari-tepui and Sororopan-tepui, two of the table mountains of the Gran Sabana region, and it was formally described by Julian Steyermark in 1951. It is closely related to Heliamphora glabra, which for a long time was treated as a form of this species. It is one of four Heliamphora taxa that Steyermark described. It grows in upland wetlands and lower Pantepui habitats at roughly 1,200 to 1,500 metres above sea level, tolerates somewhat higher temperatures than other members of its genus, and grows vigorously with a large, overhanging nectar spoon.
