Nepenthes malayensis (A.Amin, M.N.Faizal & Dome), 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 800–1,000 m above sea level in partially shaded areas, though some individuals have been seen growing in open areas. The species was first observed in 2018 and initially thought to be conspecific with

Nepenthes domei is a species of carnivorous tropical pitcher plant native to Peninsular Malaysia, growing at 800–1,000 m above sea level. The species' description was published in Webbia together with N. latiffiana, and it is one of the latest three new Malayan species described in the same year (the third species is N. malayensis). These discoveries have now made Peninsular Malaysia home to 15 species of Nepenthes. Nepenthes domei is listed in the International Plant Names Index (IPNI) and named in honour of the first person who discovered the population, Mr. Dome Nikong.
