Heliamphora hispida grows at Cerro Neblina, usually in bogs and highland meadows. It is quite common on highland meadows below Pico Phelps, and even at the very top of Pico Phelps (3014 m) some clumps of Heliamphora hispida can be found. Usually it is not associated with Heliamphora tatei var. neblinae, which we have found only in an open meadow east of Pico Phelps. Here, Heliamphora tatei var. neblinae was found growing closely with but clearly separated from Heliamphora hispida, which grows in shady spots on open shrubby bogs. It is remarkable that plants frequently grow partially submerged in these habitats, so that the water level inside of the pitchers is approximately the same as in the surrounding substrate.
