About

Nepenthes domei is a species of carnivorous tropical pitcher plant native to Peninsular Malaysia, growing at 800–1,000 m above sea level. The species' description was published in Webbia together with N. latiffiana, and it is one of the latest three new Malayan species described in the same year (the third species is N. malayensis). These discoveries have now made Peninsular Malaysia home to 15 species of Nepenthes.

Nepenthes domei is listed in the International Plant Names Index (IPNI) and named in honour of the first person who discovered the population, Mr. Dome Nikong.
