Nepenthes densiflora (Template:IPAc-en) is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra, where it grows at an altitude of between 1,700 and 3,200 m above sea level.[1]
No forms or varieties of N. densiflora have been described.
Taxonomy
In 2001, Charles Clarke performed a cladistic analysis of the Nepenthes species of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia using 70 morphological characteristics of each taxon. The following is part of the resultant cladogram, showing "Clade 3", which comprises N. densiflora and three other related species.[2]
Natural hybrids
The following natural hybrids involving N. densiflora have been recorded.
- N. angasanensis × N. densiflora[2]
