Nepenthes albomarginata /nᵻˈpɛnθiːz ˌælboʊˌmɑːrdʒᵻˈnɑːtə/ is a tropical pitcher plant native to Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, and Sumatra.
The specific epithet albomarginata, formed from the Latin words albus (white) and marginatus (margin), refers to the white band of trichomes that is characteristic of this species.
Nepenthes albomarginata was first collected by Thomas Lobb in 1848. It was formally described a year later by John Lindley in The Gardeners' Chronicle.
The species was introduced into cultivation in the United Kingdom in 1856.
In the 1996 book Pitcher-Plants of Borneo, N. albomarginata is given the vernacular name white-collared pitcher-plant. This name, along with all others, was dropped from the much-expanded second edition, published in 2008.
