Nepenthaceae (2001 Monograph)
"Nepenthaceae" is a monograph by Martin Cheek and Matthew Jebb on the Nepenthes, tropical pitcher plants of Malesia, which encompasses Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Singapore.Cheek, M.R. & M.H.P. Jebb 2001. Nepenthaceae. ''Flora Malesiana'' 15: 1–157. It was published in 2001 by the National Herbarium of the Netherlands as the fifteenth volume of the ''Flora Malesiana'' series. The species descriptions presented in the monograph are based on the authors' field observations in Borneo, New Guinea, and Peninsular Malaysia, as well as the examination of plant material deposited at 20 herbarium, herbaria. Content Cheek and Jebb recognised 83 species from Malesia, including three nothospecies (''Nepenthes × hookeriana, N. × hookeriana'', ''Nepenthes × kinabaluensis, N. × kinabaluensis'', and ''Nepenthes × trichocarpa, N. × trichocarpa'') and one "little known species" (''Nepenthes deaniana, N. deaniana'').

Nepenthaceae (Flora Malesiana)
''Nepenthes'' () is a genus of carnivorous plants, also known as tropical pitcher plants, or monkey cups, in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus includes List of Nepenthes species, about 170 species, and numerous List of Nepenthes natural hybrids, 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 List of Nepenthes species by distribution, greatest diversity occurs on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, with many endemism, 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Herbarium
A herbarium (plural: herbaria) is a collection of preserved plant specimens and associated data used for scientific study. The specimens may be whole plants or plant parts; these will usually be in dried form mounted on a sheet of paper (called ''exsiccatum'', plur. ''exsiccata'') but, depending upon the material, may also be stored in boxes or kept in alcohol or other preservative. The specimens in a herbarium are often used as reference material in describing plant taxa; some specimens may be types. The same term is often used in mycology to describe an equivalent collection of preserved fungi, otherwise known as a fungarium. A xylarium is a herbarium specialising in specimens of wood. The term hortorium (as in the Liberty Hyde Bailey Hortorium) has occasionally been applied to a herbarium specialising in preserving material of horticultural origin. History The making of herbaria is an ancient phenomenon, at least six centuries old, although the techniques have changed l ...

Nepenthes Northiana
''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 Albomarginata
''Nepenthes albomarginata'' is a tropical pitcher plant native to Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, and Sumatra. The specific epithet ''albomarginata'', formed from the Latin words ''albus'' (white) and ''marginatus'' (margin), refers to the white band of trichomes that is characteristic of this species. Botanical history ''Nepenthes albomarginata'' was first collected by Thomas Lobb in 1848. It was formally described a year later by John Lindley in ''The Gardeners' Chronicle''. The species was introduced into cultivation in the United Kingdom in 1856. In the 1996 book ''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo'', ''N. albomarginata'' is given the vernacular name white-collared pitcher-plant.Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1996. ''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. This name, along with all others, was dropped from the much-expanded second edition, published in 2008.Phillipps, A., A. Lamb & C.C. Lee 2008.

Natural Hybrid
In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction. Hybrids are not always intermediates between their parents (such as in blending inheritance), but can show hybrid vigor, sometimes growing larger or taller than either parent. The concept of a hybrid is interpreted differently in animal and plant breeding, where there is interest in the individual parentage. In genetics, attention is focused on the numbers of chromosomes. In taxonomy, a key question is how closely related the parent species are. Species are reproductively isolated by strong barriers to hybridisation, which include genetic and morphological differences, differing times of fertility, mating behaviors and cues, and physiological rejection of sperm cells or the developing embryo. Some act before fertilization and others after it. Similar barriers exist in plants, with differences in flowering tim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nepenthes Deaniana
''Nepenthes deaniana'' (; after Dean C. Worcester) is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines, where it grows at an altitude of 1180–1296 m above sea level.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. The species is known only from the summit region of Thumb Peak, a relatively small, ultramafic mountain in Puerto Princesa Province, Palawan. ''Nepenthes deaniana'' has no known natural hybrids. No forms or varieties have been described. In his Carnivorous Plant Database, taxonomist Jan Schlauer treats '' N. gantungensis'', '' N. leonardoi'' and '' N. mira'' as heterotypic synonyms of ''N. deaniana''. Adolph Daniel Edward Elmer recorded a plant from Mount Pulgar (now known as Thumb Peak) matching the description of ''N. deaniana''. He made mention of this discovery in the April 20, 1912 issue of ''Leaflets of Philippine Botany'', in his formal description of '' N.&nb ...

Nepenthes × Trichocarpa
''Nepenthes'' × ''trichocarpa'' (; from Greek language, Greek: ''trikho-'' "hair, thread", and ''-carpus'' "fruit"), the dainty pitcher-Plant,Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1996. ''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. is a common natural hybrid involving ''Nepenthes ampullaria, N. ampullaria'' and ''Nepenthes gracilis, N. gracilis''. It was originally thought to be a distinct species and was described as such. B. H. Danser included this plant in his The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies, 1928 monograph on the genus ''Nepenthes''. He described the plant as a climbing stem cylindrical in cross-section, and pitchers of the rosettes shortly incurved from the tendril and ovate in form. Both lower and upper pitchers can be up to 8 cm tall, widest at 1/3 of the height, up to 4 cm wide, with two fringed wings over the whole length. The colour of the pitchers ranges from green to spotted or striped with red or yellow, forming wonder ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
