Nepenthes deaniana (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˌdiːniˈɑːnə/; after Dean C. Worcester) is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines, where it grows at an altitude of 1180–1296 m above sea level.[3] The species is known only from the summit region of Thumb Peak, a relatively small, ultramafic mountain in Puerto Princesa Province, Palawan.
Nepenthes deaniana has no known natural hybrids.[3] No forms or varieties have been described.
In his Carnivorous Plant Database, taxonomist treats N. gantungensis, N. leonardoi and N. mira as heterotypic synonyms of N. deaniana.[4]
Adolph Daniel Edward Elmer recorded a plant from Mount Pulgar (now known as Thumb Peak) matching the description of N. deaniana. He made mention of this discovery in the April 20, 1912 issue of , in his formal description of N. graciliflora:[5]
Recently the writer [Elmer] observed a large sterile species on mount Pulgar of Palawan. Some of its pitchers were a foot long and six inches thick!
