Several attempts have been made to classify Nepenthes below genus rank, highlighting relationships between the individual species and hinting at their evolutionary lineage. In 1928 Danser divided Nepenthes into six clades. Eight years later, Harms revised the taxonomical work of Danser, dividing Nepenthes into three sub-genera. The following is one possible taxonomic classification of the Nepenthes genus, revised from Danser (1928) and Harms (1936) to include many newly-discovered species. Certain taxa have been grouped together to show more specific inter-species relationships (e.g. N. anamensis is grouped with N. mirabilis). Additionally, species directly preceding eachother in these groups are generally considered more closely related (e.g. N. rigidifolia is thought to be more similar to N. bongso than to N. spathulata and vice versa), otherwise they are listed in alphabetical order.

Note: most scientists today do not consider this classification to be completely accurate, especially in terms of genetic relationships. For example, N. ampullaria and N. bicalcarata are usually not considered to be closely related.
