Pitchers toward base of plant ovoid , facing inward, with 2 fringed wings, tendril ventral, uncoiled; pitchers toward apex of plant cylindric or funnelform , facing outward, wings generally unfringed or reduced to ridges , tendril dorsal, coiled. Inflorescence terminal (appearing leaf opposed because of continued axillary growth), racemose, or with secondary branches 2-flowered or cincinni, usually sparsely bracteate . Flowers regular; perianth in 1 whorl of (3 or) 4 tepals. Male flowers with 4-24 anthers ; filaments united into a column; pistils inconspicuous. Female flowers with inconspicuous anthers; pistils (3 or) 4; ovary superior, stipitate or not, ovoid-globose or tetragonal-terete, rarely obdeltoid , (3 or) 4-loculed; placentation axile ; ovules numerous , in many rows ; style very short to obsolete ; stigma disclike, (3 or) 4-lobed.
