The Carnivorous Plants (1989 Book)
''The Carnivorous Plants'' is a major work on carnivorous plants by Barrie E. Juniper, Richard J. Robins, and Daniel M. Joel. It was published in 1989 by Academic Press.Juniper, B.E., R.J. Robins & D.M. Joel 1989. ''The Carnivorous Plants''. Academic Press, London. Much of the book was written by the three authors over an eight-year period at Oxford University's Botany School (later the Department of Plant Sciences). Content Although sharing its title with Francis Ernest Lloyd's classic 1942 work, this treatment focuses primarily on physiology and biochemistry, reflecting the authors' areas of expertise. It also deviates from Lloyd's work in that content is organised by biological mechanism rather than by genus. The book has two appendices: the first is a summary of letters sent by Rebecca Merritt Austin to William Marriott Canby regarding her field observations of '' Darlingtonia'' in the 1870s; the second concerns Matthew Jebb's observations of ''Nepenthes'' in Papua New G ...

Nepenthes Pervillei
''Nepenthes pervillei'' (; after Auguste Pervillé, French plant collector) is the only pitcher plant found in the Seychelles, where it is endemic to the islands of Mahé and Silhouette. It grows in rocky areas near granitic mountain summits, its roots reaching deep into rock fissures. The species has an altitudinal range of 350–750 m above sea level.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. Like all members of the genus, ''N. pervillei'' is dioecious, having separate male and female plants. The mite '' Creutzeria seychellensis'' has been found in the pitchers of ''N. pervillei''. Taxonomy The species was originally described as ''Nepenthes pervillei'' in 1852, but was later placed in the monotypic genus ''Anurosperma'' as ''Anurosperma pervillei'', based on the morphology of its seeds, which differ from the closely allied '' N. madagascariensis'' (and the other members of ''Nepenthes'') in that ...

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.
