Nepenthes petiolata

Nepenthes petiolata (; from Latin: petiolatus "petiolate", referring to leaf attachment) is a highland Nepenthes pitcher plant species endemic to Mindanao island in the Philippines, where it grows at an elevation of above sea level.

Natural hybrids

Nepenthes petiolata may itself have evolved from a cross between N. alata and N. truncata. Examples of other Nepenthes species with a putative hybrid origin include N. hamiguitanensis, N. hurrelliana, and N. murudensis.
