Nepenthes rosea is a tropical pitcher plant known only from Krabi Province, Peninsular Thailand, where it grows at 450–520 m above sea level.[1] It has been seen growing in sand and humus in varying proportions, on both vertical and flat ground in clearings, scrubland, and open forests [1]. Nepenthes rosea was formally described by Marcello Catalano and Trongtham Kruetreepradit in December 2014.[2] It is unusual in that it sometimes produces a rosette along the peduncle.[1] Nepenthes rosea belongs to the N. thorelii aggregate[1],
