THE TOP OF THE BOG! Under the topic of Monkey Cups: "Even small monkeys have been known to fall into the biggest traps! But that is not why the NEPENTHES are commonly known as monkey cups. They are called monkey cups because large jungle apes, such as orangutans, actually hold them up and drink from them. No kidding." Our source for this fact is: Gentle, Victor. Pitcher Plant. Milwaukee, WI: Gareth Stevens Publishing, 1996, p. 6.
