Nepenthes clipeata (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˌklɪpiˈɑːtə/; from Latin clipeus "round shield", referring to the leaf shape), or the shield-leaved pitcher-plant,[3] is a tropical pitcher plant known only from the near-vertical granite cliff faces of Mount Kelam in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It has an elevational distribution between approximately 600 and 800 m.
Nepenthes clipeata is perhaps the most endangered of all Nepenthes species, with only an estimated 15 plants remaining in the wild as of 1995[4] (although see N. pitopangii and N. rigidifolia).
