Nepenthes holdenii is a tropical pitcher plant from western Cambodia, where it grows at elevations of 600–800 m above sea level.[1][2] The species was originally known from only two peaks in the Cardamom Mountains, but the discovery of a new population was reported in October 2011.[3][self-published source?] Seeds were collected in 2014 and the species was successfully introduced into cultivation.[4][self-published source?]
