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 ...

Nepenthes Hookeriana Danser
''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 Dubia
''Nepenthes dubia'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Indonesian island of Sumatra, where it grows at an altitude of 1600–2700 m above sea level. The specific epithet ''dubia'' is the Latin word for "doubtful". Botanical history ''Nepenthes dubia'' was first collected on May 29, 1917 by H. A. B. Bünnemeijer on Mount Talakmau, at an altitude of around 1900 m above sea level. Eleven years later, B. H. Danser formally described ''N. dubia'' in his seminal monograph "The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies". Danser noted similarities between ''N. dubia'' and the closely related '' N. inermis'' and suggested that it might represent a natural hybrid involving this species. He wrote: ''N. dubia'' strongly resembles the striking ''N. inermis'', but the difference is too large to unite these two species. ''N. inermis'', like ''N. Lowii'' has only a rudiment of a peristome. ''N. dubia'' has a broad and flat one. There are, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nepenthes Gymnamphora
''Nepenthes gymnamphora'' is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra. It has a wide altitudinal range of above sea level. There is much debate surrounding the taxonomic status of this species and the taxon, taxa ''N. pectinata'' and ''N. xiphioides''. The specific name (botany), specific epithet ''gymnamphora'' is derived from the Greek language, Greek words ''gymnos'' (naked) and ''amphoreus'' (pitcher). Taxonomy The ''N. gymnamphora'' group of related taxon, taxa has been variously interpreted as comprising a single extremely variable species (''N. gymnamphora'');McPherson, S.R. 2009.

Nepenthes Papuana
''Nepenthes papuana'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to New Guinea. The specific epithet ''papuana'' is derived from ''Papua'', an alternative name for the island. Botanical history ''Nepenthes papuana'' was first collected on October 7, 1909, by Lucien Sophie Albert Marie von Römer. Two plants were collected on this date on a hill below 750 m altitude, in the northern part of the Noordrivier. The species was collected again on January 5, 1913, by Cecil Boden Kloss at an elevation of 920 m, as part of the Wollaston Expedition. Four further collections were made in September, 1926, by Willem Marius Docters van Leeuwen at 250 and 300 m above sea level.Danser, B.H. 1928. The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies.

Nepenthes Paniculata
''Nepenthes paniculata'' (; from Latin ''panicula'' "panicle") is a tropical pitcher plant belonging to the genus ''Nepenthes''. ''Nepenthes paniculata'' is probably endemic to Doorman Top, a mountain in New Guinea (). In recent times it has been recorded from mossy forest on a ridge top at 1,460 m altitude.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. No forms or varieties of this species have been described. It may form natural hybrids with '' N. papuana''. In 1994, A. Wistuba, H. Rischer, B. Baumgartl, and B. Kistler explored Doorman Top in search of ''N. paniculata'' but found no ''Nepenthes'' other than '' N. lamii'' (then known as '' N. vieillardii'') and '' N. maxima''.Wistuba, A. 1994Re: ''Nepenthes''-discussion Carnivorous Plant Mailing List, September 15, 1994.
