Nepenthes truncata
''Nepenthes truncata'' (; from Latin: ''truncatus'' = terminating abruptly) is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines. It is known from the islands of Dinagat, Leyte, and Mindanao.〔McPherson, S.R. & V.B. Amoroso 2011. ''Field Guide to the Pitcher Plants of the Philippines''. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole.〕 The species grows at an elevation of 0–1500 m above sea level.〔McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole.〕 ''Nepenthes truncata'' is characterised by its heart-shaped (truncate) leaves and very large pitchers, which can reach up to 40 cm in height.
''Nepenthes robcantleyi'' was once considered a dark, highland form of this species.〔Cheek, M. 2011. ''Nepenthes robcantleyi'' sp. nov. (Nepenthaceae) from Mindanao, Philippines. ''Nordic Journal of Botany'' 29(6): 677–681. 〕〔Mey, F.S. 2011. (''Nepenthes robcantleyi'' aka "''Nepenthes'' black truncata" ). ''Strange Fruits: A Garden's Chronicle'', December 27, 2011.〕

On September 29, 2006, at the Botanical Gardens in Lyon, France, a ''Nepenthes truncata'' was photographed containing the decomposing corpse of a mouse. This incident is the first record of a mammal being successfully trapped in the pitchers of ''N. truncata''. Both ''N. rajah''〔Phillipps, A. 1988. ''Carnivorous Plant Newsletter'' 17(2): 55.〕 and ''N. rafflesiana''〔Moran, J.A. 1991. The role and mechanism of ''Nepenthes rafflesiana'' pitchers as insect traps in Brunei. Ph.D. thesis, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland.〕 are known to occasionally catch small mammals in the wild.
