Heliamphora sp. 'Angasima Tepui' is an undescribed taxon of marsh pitcher plant known only from the summit of Angasima Tepui in Venezuela, where it grows at elevations of 2200–2250 m.[1] It resembles H. heterodoxa in many respects, but has a smaller nectar spoon, numerous nectar glands on the outer pitcher surface, and forms large clumps up to 1.5 m across.[1]
