Nepenthes pectinata (pronounced /nəˈpɛnθiːz ˈpɛktɪnˌɑːtə/, from Latin: pectinata = comb-shaped) is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. There is much confusion surrounding the status of this species as well as N. gymnamphora and N. xiphioides.
B. H. Danser's original description of N. pectinata was based on material that included upper pitchers of N. singalana.[1]
What Danser considered to be the hybrid N. pectinata × N. singalana actually represented pure N. singalana.[1]
