Nepenthes inermis (Latin: inermis = unarmed; referring to the reduced peristome) is a highland Nepenthes pitcher plant species, native to Sumatra. It is closely related to N. dubia, but completely lacks a peristome in its upper pitchers unlike the latter. The pitchers are also usually green, while those of N. dubia tend to be yellow to orange in colour.
