Nepenthes sp. Sulawesi is an undescribed tropical pitcher plant endemic to Central Sulawesi, where it grows on at least 5 mountains.[1] It is very similar to both N. hamata and N. tentaculata.[1]

Shigeo Kurata apparently confused this taxon with N. hamata in his description[2] of the latter (as N. dentata).[1]
