Sh.Kurata (2003)[1]Nepenthes saranganiensis (pronounced /nɨˈpɛnθiːz sɑrɑːŋˌɡɑːniˈɛnsɨs/, from Sarangani) is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Philippine island of Mindanao. It is very closely related to N. alata, but can be distinguished from that taxon on the basis of its extremely decurrent leaf attachment.
Nepenthes saranganiensis has no known natural hybrids.[2] No forms or varieties have been described.
