Wikipedia Abstract

Nepenthes pervillei (/nᵻˈpɛnθiːz pərˈvɪli.aɪ/; after Auguste Pervillé, French plant collector) is the only pitcher plant found in the Seychelles, where it is endemic to the islands of Mahé and Silhouette. It grows in rocky areas near granitic mountain summits, its roots reaching deep into rock fissures. The species has an altitudinal range of 350–750 m above sea level. Like all members of the genus, N. pervillei is dioecious, having separate male and female plants. The mite Creutzeria seychellensis has been found in the pitchers of N. pervillei.
