Nepenthes alfredoi[1]:14 [2]:1 is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines on the Mt. Hamiguitan Range on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines , where it grows at elevations of 160–345 m above sea level.[1]:15-16

The species was compared to N. zygon. Nepenthes alfredoi can be distinguished from N. zygon as the species have both lower and upper pitchers with well-expressed fringed wings extending for some distance along the tendril, and the male and female inflorescence are two-flowered and rarely single flowered.[1]:15

Etymology

The specific epithet was derived to honor Alfredo Bolante Sr., a forest guard and well-trained local researcher of Mt. Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary who first observed and collected the species.[1]:16
