A skeletal world revision of the genus is presented to accompany a family account for Flora Malesiana. 82 species are recognised, of which 74 occur in the Malesiana region. Six species are described as new, one species is raised from infraspecific status, and five species are restored from synonymy. Many names are typified for the first time. Three widespread, or locally abundant hybrids are also included. Full descriptions are given for new (6) or recircumscribed (7) species, and emended descriptions of species are given where necessary (9). Critical notes are given for all the species. Little known and excluded species are discussed. An index to all published species names and an index of exsiccatae is given. |

A palaeotropical family of lianas, shrubs and herbs, with a single genus, Nepenthes. There are 83 species of the family in the Malesian area, including three nothospecies and one little known species. Most of the species are cultivated and traded across the world as ornamental plants with curiosity value. Locally in Malesia, some species are used for cooking specialist rice dishes, for medicinal uses or for making rope. The introductory part consists of chapters on distribution, fossils, habitat and ecology, reproductive biology, morphology and anatomy, pitcher function, cytotaxonomy, conservation, taxonomy, uses, collecting notes, and spot characters. Regional keys to the species are given. These are based largely on vegetative characters. For each... |
