Nepenthes Paniculata
''Nepenthes paniculata'' (; from Latin ''panicula'' "panicle") is a tropical pitcher plant belonging to the genus ''Nepenthes''. ''Nepenthes paniculata'' is probably endemic to Doorman Top, a mountain in New Guinea (). In recent times it has been recorded from mossy forest on a ridge top at 1,460 m altitude.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. No forms or varieties of this species have been described. It may form natural hybrids with '' N. papuana''. In 1994, A. Wistuba, H. Rischer, B. Baumgartl, and B. Kistler explored Doorman Top in search of ''N. paniculata'' but found no ''Nepenthes'' other than '' N. lamii'' (then known as '' N. vieillardii'') and '' N. maxima''.Wistuba, A. 1994Re: ''Nepenthes''-discussion Carnivorous Plant Mailing List, September 15, 1994.

Nepenthes Literature
''Nepenthes'' () is a genus of carnivorous plants, also known as tropical pitcher plants, or monkey cups, in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus includes about 170 species, and numerous natural and many cultivated hybrids. They are mostly liana-forming plants of the Old World tropics, ranging from South China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; westward to Madagascar (two species) and the Seychelles (one); southward to Australia (four) and New Caledonia (one); and northward to India (one) and Sri Lanka (one). The greatest diversity occurs on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, with many endemic species. Many are plants of hot, humid, lowland areas, but the majority are tropical montane plants, receiving warm days but cool to cold, humid nights year round. A few are considered tropical alpine, with cool days and nights near freezing. The name "monkey cups" refers to the fact that monkeys were once thought to drink rainwater from the pitchers.
