Nepenthes beccariana (pronounced /nəˈpɛnθiːz bɛkɑːɹiːɑːnə/, after Odoardo Beccari, botanist) is a species of tropical pitcher plant belonging to the genus Nepenthes. The species was described by John Muirhead Macfarlane based on a specimen collected from Pulau Nias, which lies about 120 km off the coast of Sumatra, near Sibolga. It appears to be closely related to both N. longifolia and N. sumatrana, and the former is possibly a junior synonym of this taxon.[1]
No forms or varieties of N. beccariana have been described.
