Morphology

The leaves of N. edwardsiana reach a maximum size of about 20 by 6 cm, whilst the smaller blades of N. macrophylla start at 35 by 12 cm. It is also distinct from N. edwardsiana, by its shorter, more ventricose pitcher, which is narrowed in its upper 1/3, and by its relatively larger lid. See key to N. villosa group under N. mira.
