Nepenthes Bongso
''Nepenthes bongso'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemism, endemic to Sumatra, where it has an altitudinal distribution of 1000–2700 m above sea level.Clarke, C.M. 2001. ''Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. The specific name (botany), specific epithet ''bongso'' refers to the Indonesian language, Indonesian legend of ''Putri Bungsu'' (literally "youngest daughter"), the spirit guardian of Mount Marapi. The species was Species description, formally described by Pieter Willem Korthals in his 1839 monograph, "Over het geslacht Nepenthes, Over het geslacht ''Nepenthes''".

Henry Nicholas Ridley CMG (1911), MA (Oxon), FRS, FLS, F.R.H.S. (10 December 1855 – 24 October 1956) was an English botanist, geologist and naturalist who lived much of his life in Singapore. He was instrumental in promoting rubber trees in the Malay Peninsula and, for the fervour with which he pursued it, came to be known as "Mad Ridley". Life Henry Ridley was the second son and third child born to Louisa Pole Stuart and Oliver Matthew Ridley in West Harling in Norfolk, where his father was the Rector. At the age of three his mother died and his father moved to Cobham in Kent. He studied at Tonbridge School and then went to Haileybury where his brother Stuart also studied.

''Nepenthes inermis'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The specific epithet ''inermis'' is Latin for "unarmed" and refers to the upper pitchers of this species, which are unique in that they completely lack a peristome. Botanical history ''Nepenthes inermis'' was first collected on September 7, 1918, by H. A. B. Bünnemeijer on Mount Talang, at an altitude of above sea level. Two further collections were made by Bünnemeijer on Bukit Gombak on November 16, 1918, at and A fourth specimen was taken on April 26, 1920, from an elevation of on Mount Kerintji. This final specimen, ''Bünnemeijer 9695'', was later designated as the lectotype of ''N. inermis'' by Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek.Jebb, M.H.P. & M.R. Cheek 1997.

Nepenthes Dubia
''Nepenthes dubia'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Indonesian island of Sumatra, where it grows at an altitude of 1600–2700 m above sea level. The specific epithet ''dubia'' is the Latin word for "doubtful". Botanical history ''Nepenthes dubia'' was first collected on May 29, 1917 by H. A. B. Bünnemeijer on Mount Talakmau, at an altitude of around 1900 m above sea level. Eleven years later, B. H. Danser formally described ''N. dubia'' in his seminal monograph "The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies". Danser noted similarities between ''N. dubia'' and the closely related '' N. inermis'' and suggested that it might represent a natural hybrid involving this species. He wrote: ''N. dubia'' strongly resembles the striking ''N. inermis'', but the difference is too large to unite these two species. ''N. inermis'', like ''N. Lowii'' has only a rudiment of a peristome. ''N. dubia'' has a broad and flat one. There are, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
