Heliamphora - the marsh pitcher plants - of the tepui mountains (lecture by Stewart McPherson)

A lecture about the spectacular Heliamphora pitcher plants that grow across the Guiana Highlands of Venezuela and borderlands of Guyana and Brazil. Heliamphora is a genus of spectacular carnivorous plants that produce pitchers up to 40 cm tall. Most species grow atop of the tepui (tepuy) mountains, South America's so-called "lost worlds". These amazing carnivorous plants are among the least known of all insect-eating plants and many species have only ever been seen on a couple of occasions. In this lecture, Stewart McPherson takes you on a journey to see all Heliamphora species in the wild! The species covered in this talk are: Heliamphora arenicola Heliamphora ceracea Heliamphora chimantensis Heliamphora ciliata Heliamphora collina Heliamphora elongata Heliamphora exappendiculata Heliamphora folliculata Heliamphora glabra Heliamphora heterodoxa Heliamphora hispida Heliamphora huberi Heliamphora ionasi Heliamphora macdonaldae Heliamphora minor Heliamphora neblinae Heliamphora nutans Heliamphora parva Heliamphora pulchella Heliamphora purpurascens Heliamphora sarracenioides Heliamphora tatei Heliamphora uncinata Heliamphora sp. 'Akopán Tepui' Heliamphora sp. 'Angasima Tepui' Edited by Rohan Holt ( Cloudbase Productions www.cloudbasepro.co.uk )
