Nepenthes angasanensis is a tropical pitcher plant (a climbing liana) endemic to Sumatra, found at high altitude, 1,400 to 3,100 m. Its taxonomic status is disputed, and it is grown as a cool-to-intermediate highland carnivorous plant with bright light and high humidity.
Nepenthes angasanensis is a tropical pitcher plant species endemic to Sumatra, where it grows at an altitude of 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) to 3,100 metres (10,200 ft) above sea level. The status of this taxon is controversial as it is similar in morphology to N. mikei and N. tobaica. It has even been suggested that the taxon might represent a natural hybrid between N. densiflora and N. tobaica.
The specific epithet refers to Mount Puncak Angasan, from which the type specimen was collected. No forms or varieties of N. angasanensis have been described.
