The pitchers look very similar to a toothless N. hamata, a close relationship with this species exists.
The name "nigra" stands for "black" and refers to the largely black coloration of the pitchers. The lower pitchers are black with light green spots, black peristome, and dark pitcher interior, the upper pitchers are lighter overall and have an almost rectangular cross-section.
