Nepenthes northiana/nɪˈpɛnθiːzˌnɔːrθiˈɑːnə/, or Miss North's pitcher-plant,[4] is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Borneo, where it grows at elevations ranging from 0 to 500 m above sea level. The specific epithet northiana honours the English botanic illustrator Marianne North, who first depicted the species. Nepenthes northiana is one of the most famous Nepenthes, and its discovery in the latter half of the 19th century contributed to Sarawak's reputation as a land of spectacular exotic plants.[5]
