Nepenthes epiphytica

Nepenthes epiphytica is a tropical pitcher plant known only from the Berau and East Kutai Regencies of East Kalimantan, Borneo, where it grows at an elevation of around 1000 m above sea level. Prior to its formal description as a species, "N. epiphytica" was considered to be a variant of the closely related "N. fusca". "Nepenthes epiphytica" belongs to the loosely defined ""N. maxima" complex", which also includes, among other species, "N. boschiana", "N. chaniana", "N. eymae", "N. faizaliana", "N. fusca", "N. klossii", "N. maxima", "N. platychila", "N. stenophylla", and "N. vogelii".
The specific epithet "epiphytica" refers to the epiphytic habit of this species.
