与苏门答腊岛（印度尼西亚）和婆罗洲（印度尼西亚，马来西亚）一起，菲律宾是猪笼草属食肉猪笼草的主要多样性中心。猪笼草是所有食肉植物中最大的，拥有最大猪笼草的物种能够捕获和消化小型两栖动物甚至哺乳动物。菲律宾南部棉兰老岛的中央山脉大部分被古老的原始森林覆盖，是菲律宾最大的未受破坏的荒野地区。在最近对中部山脉的两个地区，即苏门答腊山和潘塔龙山脉的一部分进行的实地考察中，发现了四种新的猪笼草分类群。这4个新物种是新发现的N. pantaronensis，N. cornuta、角叶拟步行虫N. talaandig和N. amabilis，描述，说明和评估。
Together with the islands of Sumatra (Indonesia) and Borneo (Indonesia, Malaysia), the Philippines are the main center of diversity for carnivorous pitcher plants of the genus, Nepenthes L. Nepenthes are the largest of all carnivorous plants, and the species with the biggest pitchers are capable of trapping and digesting small amphibians and even mammals. The central cordillera of Mindanao Island in the south of the Philippines is mostly covered with old, primary forest and is the largest remaining cohesive, untouched area of wilderness in the Philippines. In a recent field exploration of two areas of the central cordillera, namely Mount Sumagaya and a section of the Pantaron range, four new taxa of Nepenthes were discovered. These four remarkable new species, N. pantaronensis, N. cornuta, N. talaandig and N. amabilis, are described, illustrated and assessed.
