Pitcher Plants Of Borneo
''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo'' is a monograph by Anthea Phillipps and Anthony Lamb on the tropical pitcher plants of Borneo. It was first published in 1996 by Natural History Publications (Borneo), in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Malaysian Nature Society.Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1996. ''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu.

Second Edition. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. Content The taxonomy presented in the first edition is based on that of Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek's 1997 monograph, " A skeletal revision of ''Nepenthes'' (Nepenthaceae)", which was in preparation at the time of the book's publication. The second edition mostly follows the taxonomy of Cheek and Jebb's 2001 monograph, " Nepenth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nepenthes Clipeata
''Nepenthes clipeata'' (; from Latin ''clipeus'' "round shield", referring to the leaf shape), or the shield-leaved pitcher-plant,Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1996. ''Pitcher-Plants of Borneo''.

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 Zakriana
''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 endemism, endemic to Borneo. It is found throughout a wide altitude, altitudinal range and is almost always epiphytic in nature, primarily growing in mossy forest. The specific name (botany), specific epithet ''fusca'' is derived from the Latin word ''wikt:fuscus, 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 ''Nepenthes mollis, N. mollis''.

Nepenthes Glandulifera
''Nepenthes glandulifera'' (; from Latin ''glandula'' “gland" and ''ferre'' "to bear") is a species of pitcher plant endemic to the Hose Mountains of central Sarawak. This plant is so named for the black speckles around the petioles. The species's discoverer, Ch'ien Lee, initially thought they were a sign of disease. After further investigation, it was realised that the black speckles were actually nectar glands. The species is also notable for having a very prominent indumentum.
