Nepenthes × harryana is known from a ridge above the Upper Kolopis River and from two locations along the Kinabalu summit trail; [citation needed] several specimens grow between Pondok Lowii and Pondok Mempening. [7] N. edwardsiana is not known to grow along the summit trail, enabling easier identification of N. × harryana plants. [6]

Nepenthes × harryana is known from a ridge above the Upper Kolopis River and from two locations along the Kinabalu summit trail. Since N edwardsiana does not grow along the summit trail, it cannot be confused with this hybrid there. [5] Burbidge wrote that N. edwardsiana, N. × harryana, and N. villosa "are quite distinct in zone of the mountain".
Nepenthes veitchii from Borneo is also thought to be a close relative. [1] The pitchers of N. robcantleyi are exceptionally large, reaching 40 cm in length by 10 cm in width. The inflorescence, at up to 2.5 m long, is the tallest among known Nepenthes species. [4] The plant itself does not grow very tall, however, and is not known to climb. [1]
