Discovered in Elsenborn (nature reserve Hohes Venn-Eifel) in 2009: a single specimen with several pitchers in a damp peat-bog (pingo), apparently present for some years already (see: http://waarnemingen.be/waarneming/view/41978956). Given its reputation as invasive species it was removed from this locality in 2013.
