''Heliamphora nutans'' was originally discovered in 1839 on [[Mount Roraima]] by the two brothers [[Robert Hermann Schomburgk|Robert]] and [[Moritz Richard Schomburgk|Richard Schomburgk]],<ref name = "Orchids">{{cite web| url= http://www.orchids.co.in/orchidologists/david-burke.shtm|title = David Burke (1854 – 1897) |author= |publisher = www.orchids.co.in|accessdate=7 November 2008}}</ref> although they did not collect samples to return to Europe. The plant was [[Species description|formally described]] by [[George Bentham]] in 1840,<ref name=Bentham /> becoming the [[type species]] of the genus.

This species employs an '[[aquaplaning]]' trapping mechanism (whereby prey animals slip into the pitchers on the downwards-pointing hairs, which are significantly more slippy when wet) similar to that of many tropical pitcher plants of the genus ''[[Nepenthes]]''.<ref>Bauer, U., M.
