''Nepenthes bokorensis'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Cambodia. It is known from Mount Bokor (also ''Phnom Bokor'' or Bokor Hill) in the south of the country, and an as yet undetermined specimen suggests that it may also be present in other parts of the Dâmrei Mountains of Kampot Province. The specific epithet ''bokorensis'' refers to both Mount Bokor and Bokor National Park.〔 ==Botanical history== Despite only being formally described in 2009, ''N. bokorensis'' has been known since at least the early 20th century. The oldest known herbarium specimens are three taken by French plant collector C. Geoffray on January 14, 1904. Two of these consist of lower pitchers with leaves, while the third comprises upper pitchers with leaves. All three specimens were collected from Popokvil falls, Mount Bokor, and are deposited at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris.〔 The next known collection of this species was made by J. E. Vidal in 1965. It consists of a plant with upper pitchers. Three years later, Marie Martin collected ''M. Martin 1231bis'', which includes lower pitchers and female floral material. Further herbarium material, consisting of two rosette plants, was collected by David Middleton and Meng Monyrak in 2001.〔 In July 2007, François Sockhom Mey found ''N. bokorensis'' on Mount Bokor during a field trip to southern Cambodia. He posted photographs of the species on a number of online message boards the following month.〔 Mey formally described the species in the March 2009 issue of ''Carniflora Australis'', the journal of the Australasian Carnivorous Plant Society.〔 ''M. Martin 1231bis'', deposited at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, was designated as the holotype.〔 A specimen collected by Auguste Jean Baptiste Chevalier in 1917 may also represent this species and if confirmed as such would increase the known range of ''N. bokorensis'' to include other parts of the Dâmrei Mountains.〔 Material deposited at Forest Herbarium, Bangkok (BKF) and identified as ''N. thorelii'' likely also belongs to ''N. bokorensis''.〔 ''Nepenthes bokor'', described by Martin Cheek in June 2009,〔 is a later synonym of ''N. bokorensis''.〔Mey, F.S. 2009.

(Introducing some charismatic species of Cambodian flora. ) ''Cambodian Journal of Natural History'' 2010(1): 12–14.〕 In August 2011, François Mey and Alastair Robinson discovered two large new populations of ''N. bokorensis'' on the Mount Bokor massif, which they called "Location B" and "Location C" (the original roadside population being "Location A").〔Mey, F.S. 2011.
