Nepenthes tentaculata /nᵻˈpɛnθiːz tɛnˌtækjuːˈlɑːtə/, or the Fringed Pitcher-Plant, is a tropical pitcher plant with a wide distribution across Borneo and Sulawesi. It grows at altitudes of 400–2550 m.
The specific epithet tentaculata is derived from the Latin word tentacula, meaning "tentacles", and refers to the multicellular appendages on the upper surface of the pitcher lid.
Nepenthes tentaculata was formally described by Joseph Dalton Hooker in his 1873 monograph, "Nepenthaceae", based on specimens collected by Thomas Lobb in 1853.
In subsequent years, N. tentaculata was featured in a number of publications by eminent botanists such as Frederick William Burbidge (1882),Odoardo Beccari (1886),Ernst Wunschmann (1891),Otto Stapf (1894),Günther Beck von Mannagetta und Lerchenau (1895),Jacob Gijsbert Boerlage (1900),Elmer Drew Merrill (1921), and Frederik Endert (1925).
