Nepenthes robcantleyi Cheek sp. nov. from Mindanao, Philippines is described and illustrated in the Regiae group of Danser, as the second taxon of that group known from the Philippines. The conservation status of the species is assessed as ‘Critically Endangered’ (CR) as the only known population, found in 1997, has allready been logged and the species may then has gone extinct in the wild. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1756-1051.2011.01449.x/full

"Possible rediscovery Wild plants resembling N. robcantleyi were found by Andy Smith and colleagues in 2011, but due to their epiphytic habit they could only be photographed at a distance.[26][27] Smith managed to relocate the plants in 2013, and this time he was able to examine them more closely, showing that they were morphologically similar to N. robcantleyi and possibly conspecific with it.[28] In 2012, Wally Suarez encountered similar plants at an unspecified locality in Mindanao. Like those found by Andy Smith, these plants grew exclusively as epiphytes.[29][30][31][32]" Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepenthes_robcantleyi
