Nepenthes saranganiensis (pronounced /nəˈpɛnθiːz sɑːɹɑːŋɡɑːniːˈɛnsɪs/ not /ˈsæɹæŋɡæniːɛnsɪs/, from Latin: Sarangani = Sarangani, -ensis = from) is a species of pitcher plant native to the Philippines. It is very closely related to N. alata, but can be distinguished from that taxon on the basis of its extremely decurrent leaf attachment.
