Nepenthes 'Rob' is a pitcher plant that has leaves smaller than ornamental pitcher plants. It is a hybrid of Nepenthes robcantleyi and Nepenthes ventricosa. It has a spreading habit that is worth displaying in a suspended pot. The leaves are green, elongated with a lighter strongly elongated main nerve. At the end of the leaves is a stem, which in turn terminates in a yellow-red pitcher with brown spots.
;
Genus epithet 'Nepenthes' derived from Greek terms 'ne' (not) and 'penthos' (sorrow, grief), meaning 'no sorrow' or 'banished sorrow', as based on the ancient Greek name for an antidepressant drug called 'Nepenthe' which drives away all sorrows by the means of forgetfulness, and used here in connection with the reported medicinal qualities of some Nepenthes species.
