Nepenthes bicalcarata is native to Northwestern Borneo where it's found growing in hot, sticky jungles. It was formerly described by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1873. Nepenthes bicalcarata produces tubby pitchers on long tendrils. The peristome is usually lime green with two large fangs. They can actually be quite sharp like needles!
