Nepenthes Burkei
''Nepenthes burkei'', named after British plant collector David Burke (botanist), David Burke, is a tropical pitcher plant native to the island of Mindoro in the Philippines, where it grows at an elevation of 1100–2000 m.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. It is very closely related to ''Nepenthes sibuyanensis, N. sibuyanensis'' and ''Nepenthes ventricosa, N. ventricosa''. It has only recently entered wider cultivation.

Veitch Nurseries
The Veitch Nurseries were the largest group of family-run plant nurseries in Europe during the 19th century. Started by John Veitch sometime before 1808, the original nursery grew substantially over several decades and was eventually split into two separate businesses—based at Chelsea and Exeter—as it became unfeasible to run the whole operation from one location. Famous plant hunters in the Victorian period employed by the Veitch family include the brothers Thomas Lobb and William Lobb from Cornwall and David Bowman. The Veitch's ability to grow exotic plants is noted in William Jackson Hooker's description of ''Verticordia nitens'', and they were able to supply a specimen for its illustration. The firm had, by the outbreak of the First World War, introduced 1281 plants into cultivation, which were either previously unknown or newly-bred varieties (see cultivars). These included 498 greenhouse plants, 232 orchids, 153 deciduous trees, shrubs and climbing plants, 122 herba ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nepenthes Ventricosa
''Nepenthes ventricosa'' (; from New Latin ''ventricosus'' "having a swelling on one side") is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines, where it is a highland species, growing at an elevation of above sea level.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. It has been recorded from the islands of Luzon, Panay, and Sibuyan.McPherson, S.R. & V.B. Amoroso 2011. ''Field Guide to the Pitcher Plants of the Philippines''. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. The pitchers are numerous, growing up to tall and ranging in colour from ivory white to red. ''Nepenthes ventricosa'' is very closely related to both '' N. burkei'' and '' N. sibuyanensis'', but can be distinguished by a more waisted middle to the pitchers, a smaller mouth, and, generally, a thinner peristome.

Endemic Flora Of The Philippines
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. '' Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nepenthes
''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.

Nepenthes Alata
''Nepenthes alata'' (; from Latin ''alatus'' "winged") is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines. Like all pitcher plants, it is carnivorous and uses its nectar to attract insects that drown in the pitcher and are digested by the plant. It is highly polymorphic, and its taxonomy continues to be subject to revisions. Description ''N. alata'' can vary strongly in colouration and morphology. The floral formula is ✶ K4 A4+4+1* G0 for staminate (the apical stamen /*/ may not be present) and ✶ K4 A0 (4) for pistillate flowers. Taxonomy ''Nepenthes alata'' has long been treated as a highly polymorphic species spanning all the major islands of the Philippine archipelago (with the possible exception of Palawan).McPherson, S.R. & V.B. Amoroso 2011. ''Field Guide to the Pitcher Plants of the Philippines''. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. Under this broad circumscription, ''N. alata'' was understood to have an altitudinal range of above sea level and was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nepenthes Sibuyanensis
''Nepenthes sibuyanensis'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sibuyan Island in the Philippines, after which it is named. Botanical history ''Nepenthes sibuyanensis'' was discovered during an expedition to the Philippines beginning in September 1996. The team comprised Thomas Alt, Phill Mann, Trent Smith, and Alfred Öhm. The species was formally described by Joachim Nerz in the March 1998 issue of the ''Carnivorous Plant Newsletter''. The holotype of ''N. sibuyanensis'', sheet 051001, was collected on October 5, 1996, by Phill Mann and Trent Smith on Mount Guiting-Guiting at an elevation of 1300 m above sea level. The plant was growing on an open slope amongst high grasses and ferns of the genus ''Dipteris''. The specimen includes a typical pitcher and was chosen as the holotype because the pitchers of this species are its most characteristic feature. Mann and Smith made three further collections of ''N. sibuyanensis'' on the same day and at the same altitude. These w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
