Nepenthes Beccariana
''Nepenthes beccariana'' is a tropical pitcher plant. The species was described in 1908 by John Muirhead Macfarlane based on a specimen collected from the island of Nias, which lies off the western coast of Sumatra. It appears to be closely related to both ''Nepenthes longifolia, N. longifolia'' and ''Nepenthes sumatrana, N. sumatrana'', and the former is possibly a heterotypic synonym of this taxon.Clarke, C.M. 2001. ''Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. Botanical history The type specimen of ''N. beccariana'' was collected by Italy, Italian explorer Elio Modigliani during an 1886 expedition to Nias, an island located approximately 120 km from the port town of Sibolga in Sumatra. It is designated as ''E.Modigliani s.n.'' and is specimen FI-HB 7485 at the Herbarium Beccarianum in Florence, Italy.Schlauer, J. 2006''Nepenthes beccariana'' Carnivorous Plant Database.

Matthew Jebb
Matthew Hilary Peter Jebb (born 1958) is an Irish botanist and taxonomist specialising in the ant plant genera ''Squamellaria'', ''Myrmecodia'', ''Hydnophytum'', ''Myrmephytum'' and ''Anthorrhiza'', as well as the carnivorous plant genus ''Nepenthes''. Jebb has described several new ''Nepenthes'' species, all with Martin Cheek, including: '' N. argentii'', '' N. aristolochioides'', '' N. danseri'', '' N. diatas'', '' N. lamii'', '' N. mira'', and '' N. murudensis''. Jebb and Cheek also raised '' N. macrophylla'' to species rank. Jebb and Cheek revised the genus in two major monographs: " A skeletal revision of ''Nepenthes'' (Nepenthaceae)" (1997)Jebb, M.H.P. & M.R. Cheek 1997.

Jebb and Cheek's revision was based on "collaborative work by both authors since 1984, largely on herbarium specimens, but including fieldwork in New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Madagascar".

Nepenthes Beccariana Macfarlane Illustration
''Nepenthes'' () is a genus of carnivorous plants, also known as tropical pitcher plants, or monkey cups, in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus includes about 170 species, and numerous 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 greatest diversity occurs on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, with many 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 cups" refers to the fact that monkeys were once thought to drink rainwater from the pitchers. De ...

Siberut
Siberut is the largest and northernmost of the Mentawai Islands, located 150 kilometres west of Sumatra in the Indian Ocean.
