Nepenthes dactylifera, recently reclassified from Nepenthes fusca ‘Sarawak,’ represents a distinct pitcher plant species native to Sarawak. This taxonomic revision recognizes its unique morphological traits, separating it from the closely related Nepenthes zakriana of Sabah. Known for its specialized trapping mechanisms and habitat specificity, N. dactylifera offers valuable insight into the biodiversity and evolutionary adaptations within the genus Nepenthes. Ideal for researchers and collectors seeking authentic regional varieties, this species exemplifies the ongoing refinement of botanical classification in carnivorous plants.
