Nepenthes tentaculata

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 in 1873 by Joseph Dalton Hooker 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 von Mannagetta und Lërchenau Beck (1895), Jacob Gijsbert Boerlage (1900), Elmer Drew Merrill (1921), and Frederik Endert (1925).
