A tropical pitcher plant found only on Sultan Peak on Palawan, Philippines, known for very large pitchers that can exceed 35 cm tall and hold 1.5 to 2 litres of fluid. It is a montane species, so it needs cool, humid, bright conditions similar to its high-elevation home.
Nepenthes palawanensis is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sultan Peak on the island of Palawan in the Philippines, where it grows at elevations of 1,100–1,236 m (3,609–4,055 ft) above sea level. It was discovered in February 2010 by Jehson Cervancia and Stewart McPherson.
