Mount Trus Madi or Trusmadi (Malay: Gunung Trus Madi) is Malaysia's second highest mountain at 2,642 metres (8,668 ft). It lies in the state of Sabah, close to Mount Kinabalu. The mountain supports a wide range of unique flora and fauna, perhaps most notably Nepenthes macrophylla, a species of pitcher plant.^[1][2][3]

The natural hybrid Nepenthes × trusmadiensis is named after the mountain.^[4][5]
