A climbing tropical pitcher plant endemic to the summit ridge of Mount Hamiguitan on Mindanao, Philippines. It is grown in cultivation as a warm, humid, shade-loving carnivorous plant that needs a cool-to-warm night and high humidity.
Nepenthes hamiguitanensis is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to a single peak on the Philippine island of Mindanao, where it grows at elevations of 1,200–1,600 m above sea level. Once thought to be a natural hybrid between N. micramphora and N. peltata, this plant is now considered a species of possible hybridogenic origin. It produces squat upper pitchers that vary greatly in pigmentation, from red speckled to yellow throughout.
The specific epithet hamiguitanensis is derived from the name of Mount Hamiguitan, to which it is endemic, and the Latin ending -ensis, meaning "from".
