Borneo pitcher plant used in food preparation in Sarawak.
The sight of a basketful of pitcher plant caught my attention. To a visitor, this subject is a photographer's joy. A westerner will buy one for specimen. It is interesting to note the locals use the pitcher plant to steam food.
The pitcher plant is used to make 'ketupat' -glutinous rice steamed with a bit of salt and coconut milk. It is also used for stuffing 'nasi lemak'-a Malay fast food consisting of rice cooked with santan, boiled egg slices, fried anchovies, peanuts and sambal.
For RM1.00, the pitcher plant can be purchased for six pieces. The plant is cleaned, washed before it is used. The bidayuh of Sarawak will fill the pitcher plant with pork slices, prawn sambal, peanuts, glutinous rice and coconut milk.
Not all pitcher plant species are used for this purpose. Only those featured in this video are used. Two plant species are used in this food preparation.

Nepenthes of Borneo Part 1
Nepenthes, also known as tropical pitcher plants, is a genus of carnivorous plants in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus comprises roughly 150 species, and numerous natural and many cultivated hybrids.
Scientific name: Nepenthes
Did you know: Nepenthes species are threatened by a combination of over-collection and habitat loss.

Recipe:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pitcher plants are several different carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive fluid liquid. The traps of what are considered to be true pitcher plants are created from modified leaves; however they are not simply folded into a tube, and the process is far more complex.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Types of pitcher plants[edit]
The term pitcher plant generally refers to members of the Nepenthaceae and Sarraceniaceae families, but similar pitfall traps are employed by the monotypic Cephalotaceae and some members of the Bromeliaceae. The families Nepenthaceae and Sarraceniaceae are the most species-rich families of pitcher plants.
The Nepenthaceae contains a single genus, Nepenthes, containing over 100 species and numerous hybrids and cultivars.[2] In these Old World pitcher plants, the pitchers are borne at the end of tendrils that extend from the midrib of an otherwise unexceptional leaf. 'Old world' pitcher plants (genus: Nepenthes) are typically characterized as having reduced and symmetrical pitchers with a comprehensive waxy coating on the surface of the inner pitcher wall.[3] The plants themselves are often climbers, accessing plants (Sarraceniaceae), which comprise three genera,[4] are ground-dwelling herbs whose pitchers arise from a horizontal rhizome. In this family, the entire leaf forms the pitcher, as opposed to Nepenthaceae where the pitcher arises from the terminal portion of the leaf. The species of the genus Heliamphora, which are popularly known as marsh pitchers (or erroneously as sun pitchers), have a simple rolled-leaf pitcher, at the tip of which is a spoon-like structure that secretes nectar. They are restricted to areas of high rainfall in South America. The North American genus Sarracenia are the trumpet pitchers, which have a more complex trap than Heliamphora, with an operculum, which prevents excess accumulation of rainwater in most of the species. The single species in the Californian genus Darlingtonia is popularly known as the cobra plant, due to its possession of an inflated lid with elegant false-exits, and a forked tongue, which serves to ferry ants and other prey to the entrance of the pitcher. The species in the genus Sarracenia readily hybridise, making their classification a complex matter.
The Cephalotaceae is a monotypic family with but one genus and species, Cephalotus follicularis. This species has a small (2–5 cm) pitcher similar in form to those of Nepenthes. It occurs in only one location in southwestern Australia.
A few species of bromeliads (Bromeliaceae), such as Brocchinia reducta and Catopsis berteroniana, are known or suspected to be carnivorous. Bromeliads are monocots, and given that they all naturally collect water where their leaves meet each other, and that many collect detritus, it is not surprising that a few should have been naturally selected to develop the habit into carnivory by the addition of wax and downward-pointing hairs.
The purple pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, is the floral emblem of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Encounter with a Corybas helmet orchid in Malaysian Borneo
An encounter with Corybas helmet orchids in the Crocker Range National Park, a Biosphere Reserve in the mountains of Sabah, northern Borneo. These orchids are diminutive and often quite limited in distribution, though the orchid encountered in this video, Corybas muluensis, is found in cloud forest habitats from Sabah through to Sarawak.
Presented and filmed by Alastair Robinson.
Edited by Davide Baj.

Bako National Park Part 3 Malaysia 08
Bako National Park, established in 1957, is the oldest national park in Sarawak, eastern Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It covers an area of 27.27 square kilometres at the tip of the Muara Tebas peninsula at the mouth of the Bako and Kuching Rivers. It is some 37 kilometers by road from Kuching. Millions of years of erosion of the sandstone have created a coastline of steep cliffs, rocky headlands and stretches of white, sandy bays. Wave erosion at the base of the cliffs has carved many of the rocky headlands into fantastically shaped sea arches and seastacks with colored patterns formed by iron deposition. The park can only be reached by a 20-minute boat ride from Kampung Bako and is often visited as a day-trip from Kuching.
Bako is one of the smallest national parks in Sarawak, yet one of the most interesting, with its rainforest, abundant wildlife, jungle streams, waterfalls, interesting plant life, secluded beaches and trekking trails. A well maintained network of 16 colour-coded walking trails, from easy forest strolls to full day jungle treks, allows visitors to get the most out of this unique environment. There can be very few places in the world with so much natural beauty in such a limited area, and its range of attractions and activities have made Bako one of the most popular parks in Sarawak.
Flora
Bako contains almost every type of plant life found in Borneo, with over 25 distinct types of vegetation from seven complete ecosystems: beach vegetation, cliff vegetation, kerangas or heath forest, mangrove forest, mixed dipterocarp forest, padang or grasslands vegetation and peat swamp forest. The unusual plant life includes a variety of carnivorous plants (pitcher plants, sundews, bladderworts) as well as a huge variety of tree and other plant species.
Fauna
Bako is home to approximately 150 endangered proboscis monkeys, endemic to Borneo. Other animals include long-tailed macaques, silvered langur, monitor lizards, plantain squirrels, Bornean bearded pigs, and otters. Bako is also home to a number of lizards and snakes, most of which are harmless. Bako is a fascinating place for bird watching, with over 150 species recorded. Bako's nocturnal creatures include the flying lemur, pangolin, mouse deer, various species of fruit eating and insect eating bats, tarsier, slow loris, and palm civet cat.
