Nepenthes gracilis (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˈɡræsɪlɪs/; from Latin: gracilis "slender"), or the slender pitcher-plant,[5] is a common lowland pitcher plant that is widespread in the Sunda region. It has been recorded from Borneo, Cambodia,[6] Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Sulawesi, Sumatra, and Thailand.[7][8][9][10][11] The species has a wide altitudinal distribution of 0 to 1100 m[12] (and perhaps even 1700 m[13]) above sea level, although most populations are found below 100 m and plants are rare above 1000 m.[13] Despite being a widespread plant, natural hybrids between N. gracilis and other species are quite rare.
Nepenthes gracilis was formally described by Pieter Willem Korthals in his 1839 monograph, "Over het geslacht Nepenthes".[2]
Nepenthes abgracilis from the Philippines is named for its superficial similarity to this species.[14]
