Nepenthes izumiae /nɪˈpɛnθiːz iˈzuːmiaɪ/ is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra, where it grows in montane forest at 1700–1900 m above sea level.[4] It appears to be most closely related to N. lingulata and N. singalana.[2][3][5]
The specific epithet izumiae honours Izumi Davis, wife of Troy Davis, one of the describing authors.[2][4]
