印度豬籠草

印度豬籠草（学名：），又名卡西豬籠草，是印度特有的热带食虫植物。其种加词来源于卡西丘陵。其被认为是以其蓝色的荧光来吸引猎物的。

印度豬籠草分布局限，在野外非常罕见。仅存在于嘉润地区的贾因蒂亚丘陵及巴马拉地区的加罗丘陵，其与梅加拉亚邦的卡西丘陵相邻。

卡西人稱其為“tiew-rakot”，意为“恶魔之花”或“吞噬植物”，贾因蒂亚人稱其為“kset phare”，意为“有盖的捕蝇网”。加罗人则称其为“memang-koksi”，意为“恶魔的篮子”。

印度豬籠草与马来王猪笼草一起被列入《瀕危野生動植物種國際貿易公約》的附錄一中。
2010年，珍稀猪笼草采集项目成立，以保护4种极其濒危的猪笼草属物种：马兜铃猪笼草、圆盾猪笼草、印度猪笼草和硬叶猪笼草。

印度猪笼草的种加词在一些早先的文章中写为“khasyana”。这种写法在约瑟夫·道尔顿·胡克1873年的专著《猪笼草》中就已出现了，之后又出现于马克斯韦尔·T·马斯特斯在1872年4月20日《园丁纪事与农业公报》的文章中。在19世纪后期的园艺贸易中，印度猪笼草常与滴液猪笼草混淆。
