Die Gattung Nepenthes
"Die Gattung ''Nepenthes'': Eine monographische Skizze" (lit. "The genus ''Nepenthes'': A monographic sketch") is a German-language monograph by Günther Beck von Mannagetta und Lerchenau on the tropical pitcher plants of the genus ''Nepenthes''. Beck, G. 1895. Die Gattung ''Nepenthes''. ''Wiener Illustrirte Garten-Zeitung'' 20(3–6): 96–107, 141–150, 182–192, 217–229. It was published in 1895 in four parts, spread over the March, April, May and June issues of ''Wiener Illustrirte Garten-Zeitung''. Content Beck recognised and enumerated 67 major taxa, almost half of which were hybrids. Additionally, seven taxa and unnamed horticultural hybrids are listed at the end of the work under "''Ungenügend bekannte Arten, Mischarten''" (insufficiently known species, mixed species). Beck described four new species: '' N. fallax'' (later synonymised with '' N. stenophylla'', although this is disputed),McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. ...

Nepenthes Of Sumatra And Peninsular Malaysia
''Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia'' is a monograph by Charles Clarke on the tropical pitcher plants of Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, and their minor surrounding islands. It was published in 2001 by Natural History Publications (Borneo). Clarke described it as "intermediate between an ecological monograph and a taxonomic one".Clarke, C.M. 2001. ''Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. Background The work was conceived in late 1997Clarke, C.M. 2000. ''Proceedings of the 3rd Conference of the International Carnivorous Plant Society'': 9. and represents the culmination of 3 years of intensive research that included 15 field trips and numerous herbarium visits. The project encountered a number of difficulties and setbacks, including a "severe drought" in 1997 and political unrest in the following two years. Of the species covered in the book, Clarke observed all but three in the field. ''Nepenthes lavicola'' co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nepenthes Sumatrana
''Nepenthes sumatrana'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemism, endemic to the Indonesian island of Sumatra, after which it is named. Discovery and taxonomy ''Nepenthes sumatrana'' was first collected by Johannes Elias Teijsmann in February 1856, near the port town of Sibolga.Teijsmann, J.E. 1857. Dagverhaal eener botanische reis over de westkust van Sumatra. ''Natuurkundig Tijdschrift voor Nederlandsch Indië'' XIV: 249–376. Teijsmann wrote the following account of his discovery: Among the plants collected to-day and the day before yesterday [February 3rd and 1st], there were 4 species of ''Nepenthes'' (''katoepat baroek'', ''tjalong baroek'', or ''taau-taau''), growing here on the very coast between the scrub in a thin layer of humus, under which pure sea sand, or against steep rocks and the coast, when there was only some earth or moss for the germination. Some species are very common and luxuriant here and abound in flowers and fruits. The plants are all transported to Buit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nepenthes Spuria
''Nepenthes northiana'' , or Miss North's pitcher-plant,Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1996. ''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Borneo, where it grows at elevations ranging from 0 to 500 m above sea level. The specific epithet ''northiana'' honours the English botanic illustrator Marianne North, who first depicted the species. ''Nepenthes northiana'' is one of the most famous ''Nepenthes'', and its discovery in the latter half of the 19th century contributed to Sarawak's reputation as a land of spectacular exotic plants.Clarke, C.M. & C.C. Lee 2004. ''Pitcher Plants of Sarawak''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu.

Nepenthes Smithii
''Nepenthes distillatoria'' (; New Latin, from Latin: ''destillo'' "to distill", ''-oria'', adjectival ending; "something from which a liquid is distilled", i.e., pitcher) is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sri Lanka. It was the second ''Nepenthes'' species to be described in print and the first to be formally named under the Linnaean system of taxonomy. It is therefore the type species of the genus. Botanical history ''Nepenthes distillatoria'' was the second ''Nepenthes'' species to be described in print, after '' N. madagascariensis''. In 1677, Danish physician Thomas Bartholin made brief mention of it under the name ''Miranda herba'', Latin for "marvellous herb". Three years later, Dutch merchant Jacob Breyne referred to this species as ''Bandura zingalensium'', after a local name for the plant. ''Bandura'' subsequently became the most commonly used name for the tropical pitcher plants, until Linnaeus coined ''Nepenthes'' in 1737.Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1996. '' ...

Nepenthes
''Nepenthes'' () is a genus of carnivorous plants, also known as tropical pitcher plants, or monkey cups, in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus includes about 170 species, and numerous 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 greatest diversity occurs on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, with many 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 cups" refers to the fact that monkeys were once thought to drink rainwater from the pitchers.
