 note = {Nepenthes pitchers are quite diverse in both their macromorphological and micromorphological structures. The inner pitcher structures of five Nepenthes species from Sabah, Borneo, were examined in cuticular and sectional studies to clarify their differences in micromorphology. The key differences observed in the inner surface of pitchers among the five Nepenthes species are 1) the existence and density of lunate cells below the peristome, 2) the shape and size of the digestive glands, and 3) the shape and size of the lunate cells above the glands. Given that the glands of carnivorous plants play roles in sensing the arrival of potential prey, secreting digestive fluid, and absorbing nutrients from digested insects, the differences in morphologies of the glands and lunate cells might have some relationship with the ecology inside the pitchers. The factors behind these differences are discussed here from an ecological point of view.},
