Nepenthes edwardsiana /nɪˈpɛnθiːz ɛdˌwɔːrdziˈɑːnə/, or the splendid pitcher-plant,[4] is a carnivorous tropical pitcher plant endemic to Mount Kinabalu and neighbouring Mount Tambuyukon in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. It is considered one of the most spectacular of all Nepenthes, producing some of the largest pitchers and the most highly developed peristome ribs of any species in the genus.[5]
