Jebb & Cheek (1998)[1]Nepenthes mira (pronounced /nɨˈpɛnθiːz ˈmaɪrə/, from Latin: mirus "wonderful") is a highland pitcher plant endemic to Palawan in the Philippines. It grows at elevations of 1550–1605 m above sea level.[2]
Nepenthes mira was formally described by Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek in 1998.[1] The authors suggest that N. mira is related to the Bornean species N. edwardsiana, N. macrophylla, and N. villosa.[3][4]
Nepenthes mira has no known natural hybrids.[2] No forms or varieties have been described.
