Nepenthes × alisaputrana (/nᵻˈpɛnθiːz ˈɑːlᵻsəpʊˈtrɑːnə/ preferably, or /əˈlɪsəpʊˈtrɑːnə/, after Datuk Lamri Ali), or the Leopard Pitcher-Plant, is a hybrid of two well-known Nepenthes pitcher plant species: N. burbidgeae and N. rajah. The plant is confined to Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Borneo.
Nepenthes × alisaputrana was described in 1992 by J. H. Adam and C. C. Wilcock and is named in honour of Datuk Lamri Ali, a former Director of Sabah Parks. It is only known from a few remote localities within Kinabalu National Park, where it grows in stunted, open vegetation over serpentine soils at around 2000 m above sea level, often amongst populations of N. burbidgeae. It grows alongside both parent species on Pig Hill, where it is found at 1930–1950 m.
