Nepenthes × kinabaluensis (after Mount Kinabalu, where the type was collected) is a natural hybrid of two famous Bornean pitcher plant species: N. rajah and N. villosa. It is an example of a carnivorous plant of the pitfall trap variety. N. × kinabaluensis was first collected in 1910 near Kambarangoh, Sabah by Lilian Gibbs.
