Nepenthes Klossii
''Nepenthes klossii'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to New Guinea. Botanical history ''Nepenthes klossii'' was discovered in southwestern New Guinea during the Wollaston Expedition of 1912–1913. The type specimen of the species, ''Kloss s.n.'', was collected by Cecil Boden Kloss near an expedition campsite (camp VIb) on 26 January 1913, at an elevation of between 930 and 1170 m above sea level. It is deposited at the herbarium of the Singapore Botanic Gardens.Schlauer, J. 2006''Nepenthes klossii'' Carnivorous Plant Database. The specimen is of unknown sex as it lacks floral material. In August 1916, ''N. klossii'' was formally described by Henry Nicholas Ridley in a report on the Wollaston Expedition published in ''The Transactions of the Linnean Society of London''. The specific epithet ''klossii'' honours Cecil Boden Kloss, who first collected it three years earlier. Ridley wrote of this species: A revised description and illustration of ''N. klossii'' were ...

Henry Nicholas Ridley
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. At Cobham, he had taken to the idea of collecting insects and he continued this at Haileybury where the school encouraged him to publish a "List of the Mammals and Coleoptera of Haileybury". The two brothers left Haileybury and Henry went to a private tutor at Medmenham near Henley who encouraged him ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Nepenthaceae Of The Netherlands Indies
"The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies" is a seminal monograph by B. H. Danser on the tropical pitcher plants of the Dutch East Indies and surrounding regions. It was originally published in the ''Bulletin du Jardin Botanique de Buitenzorg'' in 1928, and reprinted by Natural History Publications (Borneo) in 2006.Danser, B.H. 2006. ''The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. Content Danser focused on species native to the Dutch East Indies, North Borneo, the Malay Peninsula, and eastern New Guinea (an area roughly corresponding to Malesia minus the Philippines); species from outlying areas were only mentioned in the general discussion. Danser recognised 65 species in total, of which 52 were given detailed treatments. This number included 17 newly described taxa: '' N. carunculata'' (later synonymised with '' N. bongso''),Clarke, C.M. 2001. ''Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia''. Natural History Pu ...

Vine
A vine (Latin ''vīnea'' "grapevine", "vineyard", from ''vīnum'' "wine") is any plant with a growth habit of trailing or scandent (that is, climbing) stems, lianas or runners. The word ''vine'' can also refer to such stems or runners themselves, for instance, when used in wicker work.Jackson; Benjamin; Daydon (1928). ''A Glossary of Botanic Terms with their Derivation and Accent'', 4th ed. London: Gerald Duckworth & Co. In parts of the world, including the British Isles, the term "vine" usually applies exclusively to grapevines (''Vitis''), while the term "climber" is used for all climbing plants. Growth forms Certain plants always grow as vines, while a few grow as vines only part of the time. For instance, poison ivy and bittersweet can grow as low shrubs when support is not available, but will become vines when support is available. A vine displays a growth form based on very long stems. This has two purposes. A vine may use rock exposures, other plants, or other ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nepenthes Fusca
''Nepenthes fusca'' , or the dusky 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. It is found throughout a wide altitudinal range and is almost always epiphytic in nature, primarily growing in mossy forest. The specific epithet ''fusca'' is derived from the Latin word '' fuscus'', meaning "dark brown" or "dusky", and refers to the colour of the pitchers. Botanical history The first known collection of ''N. fusca'' was made by Frederik Endert on October 12, 1925, from Mount Kemul in East Kalimantan, at an elevation of 1500 m. It was discovered during an expedition to central Borneo by the Forest Research Institute of Bogor (then known as Buitenzorg), on which Endert also made the only known collection of '' N. mollis''. The ''N. fusca'' specimen, designated as ''Endert 3955'', includes male floral material and is deposited at Herbarium B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nepenthes Veitchii
''Nepenthes veitchii'' (; after James Veitch, nurseryman of the Veitch Nurseries), or Veitch's pitcher-plant,Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1996. ''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. is a '' Nepenthes'' species from the island of Borneo. The plant is widespread in north-western Borneo and can also be found in parts of Kalimantan. ''Nepenthes veitchii'' usually grows as an epiphyte, though the form from Bario seems to be strictly terrestrial and has not been observed to climb trees. Frederick William Burbidge described the growth habit of ''N. veitchii'' in ''The Gardeners' Chronicle'' as follows: Now as to N. Veitchii. This is a true epiphyte. I never met with it on the ground anywhere, but in great quantity 20—100 feet high on tree trunks. Its distichous habit is unique, I fancy, and then some of the leaves actually clasp around the tree just as a man would fold his arms around it in similar circumstances. No other species of Nepen ...

Clade
A clade (), also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a group of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree. Rather than the English term, the equivalent Latin term ''cladus'' (plural ''cladi'') is often used in taxonomical literature. The common ancestor may be an individual, a population, or a species (extinct or extant). Clades are nested, one in another, as each branch in turn splits into smaller branches. These splits reflect evolutionary history as populations diverged and evolved independently. Clades are termed monophyletic (Greek: "one clan") groups. Over the last few decades, the cladistic approach has revolutionized biological classification and revealed surprising evolutionary relationships among organisms. Increasingly, taxonomists try to avoid naming taxa that are not clades; that is, taxa that are not monophyletic. Some of the relationships between organisms ...

Taxonomy Of Nepenthes
The taxonomy of ''Nepenthes'' has been revised several times during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Nineteenth century The first subgeneric division of the ''Nepenthes'' was made by Joseph Dalton Hooker in his 1873 monograph, "Nepenthaceae (1873 monograph), Nepenthaceae". Hooker distinguished ''Nepenthes pervillei, N. pervillei'' from all other taxa based on its seeds, which lack the appendages typical of most ''Nepenthes''. He placed it in the monotypic Section (botany), section ''Anourosperma''. All other species were subsumed in the second section, ''Eunepenthes''. A second attempt to establish a natural subdivision within the genus was made in 1895 by Günther Beck von Mannagetta und Lerchenau in "Die Gattung Nepenthes, Die Gattung ''Nepenthes''". Beck kept the two sections created by Hooker, but divided ''Eunepenthes'' into three subgroups: ''Apruinosae'', ''Pruinosae'', and ''Retiferae''. Twentieth century ''Nepenthes'' taxonomy was once again revised in 1908 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
