Nepenthes smilesii (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˈsmaɪlziaɪ, - smaɪˈliːziaɪ/) is a tropical pitcher plant native to northeastern Thailand, southern Laos, Cambodia,[3][4] and Vietnam.[5][6][7] Nepenthes smilesii can tolerate an extended dry season and is most common in open, sandy savannah and grassland.[6]
The specific epithet smilesii refers to plant collector Frederick Henry Smiles, who made the first known collection of this species.[5]
