Nepenthes alzapan is a rare tropical pitcher plant from the mountains of eastern Luzon in the Philippines, known from only a few herbarium specimens. It is a climbing or sprawling plant in the highland, mossy-forest style of the genus, and it needs cool, humid, bright conditions to grow well.
Nepenthes alzapan is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Philippine island of Luzon. It is known from only a handful of herbarium specimens collected in 1925 from submontane mossy forest at an elevation of 1800 m above sea level. It is closely allied to N. bellii and has similarly diminutive pitchers.
The specific epithet alzapan refers to Mount Alzapan in the Sierra Madre mountains, from which the type material was collected.
