A slender climbing pitcher plant, described in 2014, known only from Sibuyan Island in the Philippines. It grows in gallery forest on ultramafic rock at around 750 m. It is a close relative of N. graciliflora and is known mainly from upper pitchers: coiled-tendril pitchers 10-13 cm tall, green with faint purple mottling. In cultivation, treat it as a warm-intermediate grower: warm days, mild nights and high humidity.

The type was collected at 750 m. The full elevation range is not documented.
