Carnivorous Plant Newsletter
The ''Carnivorous Plant Newsletter'' is the official publication of the International Carnivorous Plant Society (ICPS), the largest such organization in the world. It is headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. History and editorship The newsletter has been published every year since its inception in 1972. It was first published as a stenciled product, with annual subscription priced at $1 for those in the contiguous United States, Mexico and Canada, and $2 for those living elsewhere. The first issue, from April 1972, opened with the following paragraph: In 1972 the newsletter had around 25 subscribers; this number quickly grew to more than 100 by June 29 of that year and reached 600 in July 1976. In 2018, the quarterly print run is 1400 copies. In volume 7 (1978), the newsletter started printing in a 6 by 9 inch format with colour covers, and limited colour reproduction in some articles. The publication was founded by Don Schnell and Joe Mazrimas. Additional early edit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nepenthes Cincta
''Nepenthes'' () is a genus of carnivorous plants, also known as tropical pitcher plants, or monkey cups, in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus includes List of Nepenthes species, about 170 species, and numerous List of Nepenthes natural hybrids, natural and many cultivated hybrids. They are mostly liana-forming plants of the Old World tropics, ranging from South China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; westward to Madagascar (two species) and the Seychelles (one); southward to Australia (four) and New Caledonia (one); and northward to India (one) and Sri Lanka (one). The List of Nepenthes species by distribution, greatest diversity occurs on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, with many endemism, endemic species. Many are plants of hot, humid, lowland areas, but the majority are tropical montane plants, receiving warm days but cool to cold, humid nights year round. A few are considered tropical alpine, with cool days and nights near freezing. The name "monkey ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nepenthes Melamphora
''Nepenthes gymnamphora'' is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra. It has a wide altitudinal range of above sea level. There is much debate surrounding the taxonomic status of this species and the taxa ''N. pectinata'' and ''N. xiphioides''. The specific epithet ''gymnamphora'' is derived from the Greek words ''gymnos'' (naked) and ''amphoreus'' (pitcher). Taxonomy The ''N. gymnamphora'' group of related taxa has been variously interpreted as comprising a single extremely variable species (''N. gymnamphora'');McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes.

Nepenthes Junghuhnii
''Nepenthes junghuhnii'' (; after Friedrich Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn, who collected it between 1840 and 1842) is a tropical pitcher plant native to Sumatra. This species has been the source of much confusion since its discovery. The taxon originally named ''N. junghuhnii'' by John Muirhead Macfarlane has never been formally published (Henry Nicholas Ridley's ''N. junghuhnii'' is a heterotypic synonym of '' N. singalana''). In 1994, taxonomist Jan Schlauer described ''N. junghuhnii'' as a "rather dubious species based on insufficient specimens".Schlauer, J. 1994NEPENTHES comments for Flora Malesiana Carnivorous Plant Mailing List, September 9, 1994. ''Nepenthes junghuhnii'' ''sensu'' Macfarlane has not been relocated in the wild since the collection of the type specimen.Clarke, C.M. 2001. ''Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia''.

Nepenthes Deaniana
''Nepenthes deaniana'' (; after Dean C. Worcester) is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines, where it grows at an altitude of 1180–1296 m above sea level.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. The species is known only from the summit region of Thumb Peak, a relatively small, ultramafic mountain in Puerto Princesa Province, Palawan. ''Nepenthes deaniana'' has no known natural hybrids. No forms or varieties have been described. In his Carnivorous Plant Database, taxonomist Jan Schlauer treats '' N. gantungensis'', '' N. leonardoi'' and '' N. mira'' as heterotypic synonyms of ''N. deaniana''. Adolph Daniel Edward Elmer recorded a plant from Mount Pulgar (now known as Thumb Peak) matching the description of ''N. deaniana''. He made mention of this discovery in the April 20, 1912 issue of ''Leaflets of Philippine Botany'', in his formal description of '' N.&nb ...

Nepenthes Macrophylla
''Nepenthes macrophylla'' , the large-leaved pitcher-plant,Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1996. ''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. is a tropical pitcher plant known only from a very restrictive elevation on Mount Trusmadi in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. ''Nepenthes macrophylla'' was once thought to be a subspecies of ', but differs from that species in several aspects of pitcher and leaf morphology.Clarke, C.M. 1997. ''Nepenthes of Borneo''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. Botanical history ''Nepenthes macrophylla'' was known to grow on Mount Trusmadi for a long time prior to its description, although it was not initially considered a distinct species. Shortly after its discovery, it was lumped with ', a similar species from Kinabalu National Park. In his 1976 guide, ''Nepenthes of Mount Kinabalu'', botanist Shigeo Kurata wrote:Kurata, S. 1976.

Nepenthes Murudensis
''Nepenthes murudensis'' , or the Murud pitcher-plant,Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1996. ''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Mount Murud in Borneo, after which it is named. It is of putative hybrid origin: its two original parent species are thought to be '' N. reinwardtiana'' and '' N. tentaculata''.Clarke, C.M. 1997. ''Nepenthes of Borneo''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. Botanical history ''Nepenthes murudensis'' was known for some time prior to its description, although authors differed as to its identity. In 1988, Anthea Phillipps and Anthony Lamb suggested that it might represent a natural hybrid between '' N. reinwardtiana'' and '' N. tentaculata''.Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1988. Pitcher-plants of East Malaysia and Brunei. ''Nature Malaysiana'' 13(4): 8–27. However, in their 1996 monograph, ''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo'', the authors treated it as a species in the proc ...

Nepenthes Lamii
''Nepenthes lamii'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemism, endemic to New Guinea, where it grows at an altitude of up to 3520 m above sea level, higher than any other ''Nepenthes'' species.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. Although once confused with ''Nepenthes vieillardii, N. vieillardii'' and previously regarded as conspecific with the closely related ''Nepenthes monticola, N. monticola'', it is now recognised as a distinct species.Robinson, A., J.

Nepenthes Diatas
''Nepenthes diatas'' (; from Indonesian ''diatas'' "above, on top") is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra, where it grows at an altitude of above sea level. ''Nepenthes diatas'' was formally described in 1997 by Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek in their monograph " A skeletal revision of ''Nepenthes'' (Nepenthaceae)", published in the botanical journal ''Blumea''. However, the name ''N. diatas'' had already been in use since at least 1994.Jebb, M. 1994NEPENTHES revision for Flora Malesiana Carnivorous Plant Mailing List, 9 September 1994. No forms or varieties of ''N. diatas'' have been described. Taxonomy In 2001, Charles Clarke performed a cladistic analysis of the ''Nepenthes'' species of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia using 70 morphological characteristics of each taxon. The following is part of the resultant cladogram, showing "Clade 3", which comprises ''N. diatas'' and three other related species.Clarke, C.M. 2001. ''Nepenthes of Sumatra and Pe ...
