Nepenthes × hookeriana (pronounced /nəˈpɛnθiːz hʊkəɹiːɑːnə/, after Joseph Dalton Hooker), or Hooker's Pitcher-Plant,[1] is a common natural hybrid involving N. rafflesiana and N. ampullaria. It was originally described as a species.
It is a relatively common natural hybrid found in lowland conditions throughout Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Singapore and the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Like its parental species, the hybrid is generally found in recently disturbed clearings.
