Nepenthes malayensis, or the striped Malayan montane pitcher plant, is a large species of carnivorous tropical pitcher plant native and endemic to eastern mountains of Peninsular Malaysia. The peristomes on both upper and lower pitchers are profusely adorned by reddish bands, or stripes, making the species rather attractive. It grows close to mountain summits around 800–1000 m above sea level in partially shaded areas, though some individuals have been seen striving in open areas. The species was first observed in 2018 and initially thought to be conspecific with N. sanguinea. Nepenthes malayensis formal description was published in late 2020 in Kew Bulletin and it is one of the latest three new Malayan species described in the same year. These discoveries have made Peninsular Malaysia home to 15 species of Nepenthes and there are over 150 species of world's Nepenthes with the majority of these are from the Malay Archipelago.
