Nepenthes tentaculata /nɪˈpɛnθiːz tɛnˌtækjʊˈlɑːtə/, or the fringed pitcher-plant, is a tropical pitcher plant with a wide distribution across Borneo and Sulawesi. It grows at altitudes of 400–2,550 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.
