Nepenthes bongso /nɨˈpɛnθiːz ˈbɒŋsoʊ/ is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra, where it has an altitudinal distribution of 1000–2700 m above sea level.[9][10] The specific epithet bongso refers to the Indonesian legend of Putri Bungsu (literally "youngest daughter"), the spirit guardian of Mount Marapi.[9]
The species was formally described by Pieter Willem Korthals in his 1839 monograph, "Over het geslacht Nepenthes".[1]
Nepenthes carunculata[note a] is considered a heterotypic synonym of N. bongso by most authorities.[7][8][9][11] The infraspecific taxon Nepenthes carunculata var. robusta was described in 1994 by Joachim Nerz and Andreas Wistuba.[12] It is an extreme variety of this taxon with a large, flared peristome.[12]
In his Carnivorous Plant Database, taxonomist Jan Schlauer treats N. junghuhnii (sensu Macfarlane) as a possible synonym of N. bongso.[13]

Natural hybrids
The following natural hybrids involving N. bongso have been recorded.
- N. bongso × N. gymnamphora[9]
- N. bongso × N. singalana[9]
- N. bongso × N. talangensis[9]
In his 1928 monograph "The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies", B. H. Danser mentioned what he thought was the hybrid N. bongso × N. pectinata;[4] however, this plant material is now known to represent N. densiflora,[9] a species described by Danser 12 years later.[14]
