"Heliamphora neblinae" (after Cerro Neblina) is a species of Marsh Pitcher Plant endemic to Cerro Neblina in Venezuela. It is one of the most variable species in the genus and was once considered to be a variety of "H. tatei". It is unclear whether or not there is a consensus regarding its status as a species, with at least a few researchers supporting the taxonomic revision that would elevate both "H. tatei" var. "neblinae" and "H. tatei" f. "macdonaldae" to full species status. [Rice, Barry A. (2006). "Growing Carnivorous Plants". Timber Press: Portland, Oregon.]
