Nepenthes Cornuta
''Nepenthes cornuta'' is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Philippines. It is known only from the Pantaron Mountain Range of central Mindanao, where it grows terrestrially on ultramafic soils at around 1000 m above sea level. This species is most closely allied to '' N. ceciliae'' and '' N. copelandii'', both also from Mindanao. All three belong to the much larger "''N. alata'' group", which also includes '' N. alata'', '' N. extincta'', '' N. graciliflora'', '' N. hamiguitanensis'', '' N. kitanglad'', '' N. kurata'', '' N. leyte'', '' N. mindanaoensis'', '' N. negros'', '' N. ramos'', '' N. saranganiensis'', and '' N. ultra''.Cheek, M. & M.

Type Locality (biology)
In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally attached. In other words, a type is an example that serves to anchor or centralizes the defining features of that particular taxon. In older usage (pre-1900 in botany), a type was a taxon rather than a specimen. A taxon is a scientifically named grouping of organisms with other like organisms, a set that includes some organisms and excludes others, based on a detailed published description (for example a species description) and on the provision of type material, which is usually available to scientists for examination in a major museum research collection, or similar institution. Type specimen According to a precise set of rules laid down in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) and the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), the scientific name of every taxon is almost a ...

Nepenthes Copelandii
''Nepenthes copelandii'' (; after Edwin Copeland) is a species of pitcher plant native to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. Originally known from Mount Apo near Davao City and Mount Pasian near Bislig, it has since been discovered on a number of peaks throughout Mindanao. It may also be present on the nearby island of Camiguin. The species has a wide altitudinal distribution of 1100–2400 m above sea level.McPherson, S.R. & V.B. Amoroso 2011. ''Field Guide to the Pitcher Plants of the Philippines''. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. ''Nepenthes copelandii'' has no known natural hybrids.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. No forms or varieties have been described. The Mount Apo form has been cultivated by Australian hobbyists since the early 1980s, the taxon being referred to as "''N.'' sp. Philippines No. 2". Plants from Mount Pasian only entered cultivation much later. ''Nepent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Petiole (botany)
In botany, the petiole () is the stalk that attaches the leaf blade to the stem, and is able to twist the leaf to face the sun. This gives a characteristic foliage arrangement to the plant. Outgrowths appearing on each side of the petiole in some species are called stipules. Leaves with a petiole are said to be petiolate, while leaves lacking a petiole are called sessile or apetiolate. Description The petiole is a stalk that attaches a leaf to the plant stem. In petiolate leaves, the leaf stalk may be long, as in the leaves of celery and rhubarb, or short. When completely absent, the blade attaches directly to the stem and is said to be sessile. Subpetiolate leaves have an extremely short petiole, and may appear sessile. The broomrape family Orobanchaceae is an example of a family in which the leaves are always sessile. In some other plant groups, such as the speedwell genus '' Veronica'', petiolate and sessile leaves may occur in different species. In the grasses (Poaceae), ...

Nepenthes Hamiguitanensis
''Nepenthes hamiguitanensis'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to a single peak on the Philippine island of Mindanao, where it grows at elevations of 1200–1600 m above sea level. Once thought to be a natural hybrid between '' N. micramphora'' and '' N. peltata'', this plant is now considered a species of possible hybridogenic origin.McPherson, S.R. 2010Four new species of ''Nepenthes'' Carnivorous Plants UK, October 11, 2010. It produces squat upper pitchers that vary greatly in pigmentation, from red speckled to yellow throughout. The specific epithet ''hamiguitanensis'' is derived from the name of Mount Hamiguitan, to which it is endemic, and the Latin ending '' -ensis'', meaning "from". Botanical history Although only formally described in 2010, this taxon was already known several years earlier. A herbarium specimen of ''N. hamiguitanensis'' was collected by Victor B.
