Heliamphora macdonaldae

Heliamphora macdonaldae is a species of marsh pitcher plant endemic to Venezuela. It is closely related to H. tatei and was for a long time considered a form or variety of that species.[2] Putative natural hybrids between H. macdonaldae and H. tatei have been recorded in the southern part of Cerro Duida.
