National Botanic Gardens (Ireland)
The National Botanic Gardens (Irish: ''Garraithe Náisiúnta na Lus'') is a botanical garden in Glasnevin, 5 km north-west of Dublin city centre, Ireland. The 19.5 hectares are situated between Glasnevin Cemetery and the River Tolka where it forms part of the river's floodplain. The gardens were founded in 1795 by the Dublin Society (later the Royal Dublin Society) and are today in State ownership through the Office of Public Works. They house approximately 20,000 living plants and many millions of dried plant specimens. There are several architecturally notable greenhouses. The Glasnevin site is the headquarters of the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland which has a satellite garden and arboretum at Kilmacurragh in County Wicklow. The gardens participate in national and international initiatives for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. Director of the Gardens Dr. Matthew Jebb, is also Chairman of PlantNetwork: The Plant Collections Network of Britain an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nepenthes Aristolochioides
''Nepenthes aristolochioides'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra, where it grows at elevations of 1800–2500 m above sea level. It has an extremely unusual pitcher morphology, having an almost vertical opening to its traps.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. It is critically endangered by overcollection. The specific epithet ''aristolochioides'' is formed from the genus name ''Aristolochia'' and the Latin ending ''-oides'', meaning "resembling". It refers to the similarity that the pitchers of this species bear, in both shape and pigmentation, to the specialised flowers of ''Aristolochia''. Botanical history ''Nepenthes aristolochioides'' was first collected by Willem Meijer on August 5, 1956. The holotype, ''Meijer 6542'', was collected on that date from Mount Tujuh (Tudjuh) in Jambi at an elevation of 2000 m. It is deposited at the National Herbarium of the Netherlands (L) in ...

Hilaire Belloc
Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc (, ; 27 July 187016 July 1953) was a Franco-English writer and historian of the early twentieth century. Belloc was also an orator, poet, sailor, satirist, writer of letters, soldier, and political activist. His Catholic faith had a strong effect on his works. Belloc became a naturalised British subject in 1902 while retaining his French citizenship. While attending Oxford, he served as President of the Oxford Union. From 1906 to 1910, he served as one of the few openly Catholic members of the British Parliament. Belloc was a noted disputant, with a number of long-running feuds. He was also a close friend and collaborator of G. K. Chesterton. George Bernard Shaw, a friend and frequent debate opponent of both Belloc and Chesterton, dubbed the pair the "Chesterbelloc". Belloc's writings encompassed religious poetry and comic verse for children. His widely sold ''Cautionary Tales for Children'' included "Jim, who ran away from his nurs ...

A Skeletal Revision Of Nepenthes (Nepenthaceae)
"A skeletal revision of ''Nepenthes'' (Nepenthaceae)" is a monograph by Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek on the tropical pitcher plants of the genus ''Nepenthes''. It was published in the May 1997 issue of the botanical journal ''Blumea''.Jebb, M.H.P. & M.R. Cheek 1997. A skeletal revision of ''Nepenthes'' (Nepenthaceae). ''Blumea'' 42(1): 1–106.

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 Mira
''Nepenthes mira'' (; from Latin ''mirus'' "wonderful") is a highland pitcher plant endemic to Palawan in the Philippines. It grows at elevations of 1550–1605 m above sea level.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. ''Nepenthes mira'' was formally described by Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek in 1998. The authors suggest that ''N. mira'' is related to the Bornean species '' N. edwardsiana'', '' N. macrophylla'', and '' N. villosa''.Schlauer, J. 2000. ''Carnivorous Plant Newsletter'' 29(2): 53. In his Carnivorous Plant Database, taxonomist Jan Schlauer treats this species as a heterotypic synonym of '' N. deaniana''.Schlauer, J. N.d''Nepenthes mira'' Carnivorous Plant Database. ''Nepenthes mira'' has no known natural hybrids. No forms or varieties have been described. References Further reading * Amoroso, V.B., L.D. Obsioma, J.B. Arlalejo, R.A. Aspiras, D.P. Capili, J.J.A.

''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. Nerz, A. Wistuba, M. Mansur & S. McPherson 2011.

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 ...
