The description below is the description of N. kampotiana made by the french botanist Henri Lecomte. It was published in Notulae Systematicae in 1909.
I have made the translation from the french of the short text which is under the latin diagnosis.
This species has been synonymised By Cheek and Jebb (1997) with N. anamensis.
However, according to Marcello Catalano ( www.nepenthesofthailand.com/ ) M. Cheek is going to reinstate N. kampotiana as a valid species.

"Nepenthes kampotiana H. Lec.
Caulis 6-20 decim. alta. Folia 30 cm. longa, 3 cm. lata, subcoriacea, petiolata; petiolus 2-3 cm. longus, alatus, alis gradatim a basi in laminas ampliatis; lamina lanceolata, inferne longe attenuata, superne in cirrum attenuata, supra infraque pilis sparsis instructa, nervi longitudinales in paria 3 dispositi, par intimum 11 mm. , par secundum 13 mm. , par exterius 15 mm. a costa remotum; nervi transversi distantes, vix ascendentes, sinuati; cirrus 15-18 cm. longus et ad basin recurvatam ascidii abrupte inflatus. Ascidia 10-20 cm. longa, 3-5 cm. lata, fere monomorpha, basi +- infundibuliformia, nervi longitudinales tenues, nervis transversis conjuncti, sub peristomio fulva; alae ventrales ad nervos longitudinales redactae; os obliquum, postice in collum triangulum 2-3 cm. elevatum; peristomium 3-4,5 cm. latum, cylindricum, latere postico ampliatum et sub operculo marginibus convergentibus; striae crebrae, tenuiores; operculum 3-4 cm. diametro, cordato-ovatum, extus pilosum pilis parvis, intus glandulosum, glandulis magnis, sparsis; calcar 3-4 mm. longum, recurvatum; ascidium intus per trientem superiorem glauco-purpureum, inferne glandulosum. Inflorescentia 30-38 cm. longa; pedunculus 10 cm. longus, sparse pubescens. Pedicelli uniflori. Sepala ovalia usque obovata, extus dense fulvo-tomentosa, intus glandulosa. Columna staminea sepalis aequalis, inferne tomentella, superne glabra; anthera 8-10, uniseriatae. Capsula 15-22 mm. longa, brunneo-nitida, lobis stigmaticis prominentibus, sulcatis. Semina 6-7 mm. longa, tenuia.
Cambodia: Kampot, n°89, 90, 191 (Geoffray).
This species is easily distinguished from the others [ie N.thorelii and N. kampotiana, (note from the translator)] by its exceptionally long and thin leaves, and its equally very elongated and spindly infructescence."
This is the material mentioned above, syntypes n°89, 90 and 191:
