Nepenthes masoalensis /nɨˈpɛnθiːz ˌmæsɵˈlɛnsɪs/ is one of two tropical pitcher plant species from Madagascar, the other being N. madagascariensis.
Nepenthes masoalensis is known only from eastern Madagascar; it occurs in the Masoala Peninsula and the Mount Ambato region. It has been recorded from Pandanus and Sphagnum swamps, mountain ridgetops, and xerophytic vegetation.[2] Nepenthes masoalensis is a lowland species, growing at 0–400 m altitude.[3]
