Nepenthes pervillei (after Perville, French plant collector) is a tropical pitcher plant found in the Seychelles. It was originally classified as Nepenthes pervillei Bl. in 1852, but was later placed in the monotypic genus Anurosperma as Anurosperma pervillei (Bl.) Hallier, based on the morphology of its seeds, which differs from the closely allied Nepenthes madagascariensis (and the other members of Nepenthes) in that they lack the 'tails' characteristic of the rest of the genus. However, the more recent taxonomic database of Jan Schlauer subsumes Anurosperma back into Nepenthes.
