Nepenthes mollis (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˈmɒlɪs/; from Latin: mollis = soft; referring to the covering of hairs),[2] or the velvet pitcher-plant,[2] is a tropical pitcher plant species natives to Kalimantan, Borneo. It used to be known only from a single dried herbarium specimen[3] and is the sole recognised species in the genus Nepenthes of which the pitchers are unknown. In 2019 Global Wildlife Conservation announced the rediscovery of the species.[4]
The habitat of N. mollis is listed as dense forest on a steep slope at an elevation of 1,800 m.[5] The species is only known from Mount Kemul, the type locality, although a wider distribution is possible, as several higher neighbouring mountains remain unexplored.[6] Charles Clarke suggests that it may occur in mossy forest.[6]
Nepenthes mollis has no known natural hybrids.[7] No infraspecific taxa of this species have been described.[7] Nepenthes mollis has no nomenclatural or taxonomic synonyms.[7] Its conservation status is listed as Data Deficient on the 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]
