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。Kurup, R., A.J. Johnson, S. Sankar, A.A. Hussain, C.S. Kumar & S. Baby 2013. Fluorescent prey traps in carnivorous plants. Plant Biology 15(3): 611–615. 

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。Bhau, B.S., K. Medhi, T. Sarkar & S.P. Saikia 2009. PCR based molecular characterization of Nepenthes khasiana Hook. f.—pitcher plant. Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution 56(8): 1183–1193. 

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”。Flora of Meghalaya  National Informatics Centre, Meghalaya State Centre.

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。Ziemer, B. 2010. Exciting conservation news: the Rare Nepenthes Collection project! Carnivorous Plant Newsletter 39(3): 67.Nepenthes clipeata . Ark of Life.Bourke, G. 2010.  Captive Exotics Newsletter 1(2): 5–6. 

印度猪笼草的种加词在一些早先的文章中写为“khasyana”。Moore, D. 1872. On the culture of Nepenthes at Glasnevin.  The Gardeners' Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette 1872(11): 359–360.Masters, M.T. 1872. The cultivated species of Nepenthes.  The Gardeners' Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette 1872(16): 540–542.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。Masters, M.T. 1881.
