Nepenthes petiolata (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˌpiːtioʊˈlɑːtə/; 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 1,450–1,900 metres (4,800–6,200 ft) above sea level.[3]

Natural hybrids

Nepenthes petiolata may itself have evolved from a cross between N. alata and N. truncata.[3] Examples of other Nepenthes species with a putative hybrid origin include N. hamiguitanensis, N. hurrelliana, and N. murudensis.[3][6]
