Nepenthes vieillardii (pronounced /nəˈpɛnθiːz viːɛˈlɑːrdiːaɪ/, after Eugène Vieillard, collector of plants from New Caledonia and Tahiti between 1861 and 1867) is a species of pitcher plant endemic to the island of New Caledonia. Its distribution is the most easterly of any Nepenthes species. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.[1]
