Nepenthes pitopangii /nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˌpɪtoʊˈpæŋɡiaɪ/ is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.[3] Discovered in 2006, N. pitopangii was initially known from a single plant at a remote locality in Lore Lindu National Park. Efforts made in the following years to locate further populations on surrounding mountains proved unsuccessful.[3] In March 2011, a new population of N. pitopangii consisting of around a dozen plants was discovered more than 100 km from the type locality.[4] Nepenthes pitopangii appears to be closely related to N. glabrata, from which it differs most obviously in its upper pitcher morphology.[2][3]
