Introduction
gional revision for the Flora Malesiana area (excluding the Philippines) was completed
by Danser (1928). The purpose of this paper is to provide a skeletal revision, cover-
ing issues relating to Nepenthes taxonomy which would be inappropriate in the text
of Flora Malesiana. For the majority of species, only the original citation and that in
Danser (1928) and later publications is given, since Danser's (1928) work provides a
74 species are recognised in the region, and three naturally occurring hybrids are
also covered for the Flora account. The hybrids N. x hookeriana Lindl. and N. x tri-

PREVIOUS REVISIONS
tion Anourosperma. Macfarlane revised the family for Engler's Pflanzenreich (1908),
recognising 58 species. Danser's treatment of the genus for the Netherlands Indies
treated 51 species found in the former Dutch East Indies and adjoining areas.
Historically, Nepenthes taxonomy has both benefited and suffered from the horti-
cultural desirability of these and species often entered herbaria via the
plants, green-
houses of Europe. Collectors of type material such as David Burke (1880), Charles
Curtis (1878-84) and Frederick Burbidge (1877-78) were also collectors of live
plants for Mr. Harry Veitch of Chelsea, one of the foremost growers of Nepenthes at
that time. Bull Nurseries were also in the trade at the time, and their catalogues list an
impressive range of species at outrageous prices. Sir Hugh Low, who was Rajah
James Brooke's personal secretary at this time, sent
many plants to his father at the
Maxwell Masters and Frederick Burbidge appear to have been regular correspon-
dents of Sir Joseph Hooker at Kew, soliciting his opinion on specimens they had
growing in nurseries. During this period (1881-1890) a number of species and culti-
vars were published in the Gardeners' Chronicle. This led to uncritical descriptions,
Mast, and N. stenophylla Mast, were all based on cultivated material alone).
Without doubt Danser's masterful treatment in 1928 remains the most thorough,
and up to date treatment of the genus. He retained 35 species in the former Dutch
East Indies and adjoining areas, adding 17, to give a then world total of 65 spe-
cies. He made a first attempt at a phylogenetic treatment, with six informal species
groups.
Little collecting has occurred since Danser's revision (1928), and it was not until the
1970's and 80's that specialist collectors began publishing new species on an ad hoc
basis. Horticultural interest in these plants has been the most important factor in stim-
ulating this progress. Since Danser (1928), 36 names of species, subspecies, and

HABIT
Young Nepenthes plants produce their first pitchers while still minute, and the height
of these pitchers may be only 2 to 3 mm. As the plant develops, successive pitchers
and produce leaves with straight tendrils and incurving, globose pitchers often with
ing longer internodes and leaves in which the tendril is coiled and the pitcher now
curves outwards from the tendril, becoming more cylindrical or infundibulate, and
the wings become much reduced or absent. Side shoots from the main stem reiterate

pitcher types are here referred to as Upper and Lower pitchers. Danser (1928) distin-
guished pitchers of the rosette, short shoot and climbing stem. We consider that the
distinction is not always clear cut. Our descriptions treat apparent intermediates where
Nepenthes species can be remarkably polymorphic, both within and between indi-

pitchers apparently follows the same pattern in all species. Relative to the lower pitch-

MORPHOLOGY
Venation indicates that the spur of the pitcher is the true leaf apex, the lid being the
only organ to lack a mid-rib (Hooker, 1859). The blade of the leaf may be sessile or
petiolate to the main stem. Petioles are often winged, and in some species the leaf
base is dccurrent or adnate to the stem. The leaves of climbing stems tend to be more
petiolate than those of the rosette stems in all species. At fertile nodes, however, the
leaves can be quite aberrant, often being sessile or more abruptly truncate at the base
than the norm. In some species the leaf blade shows great variation in size on the one
maxima). Blade margins are entire, with the exception of N. mirabilis in which the
leaf blade margin is finely fimbriate, and then only in the lower leaves. Other species
may have a dense indumentum below the margin. The relative numbers, distribution
and dominance of the longitudinal and pennate nerves is usually characteristic of the
species.
Pitchers range from almost globose or urceolate, to cylindrical, and at the oppo-
site extreme to narrowly or broadly infundibulate. The edge of the pitcher mouth
more or
less T-shaped, with the arms of the T curving downwards and inwards. On
the inner edge of the peristome the corrugations may end in sharply pointed teeth,
and between each of these teeth lies a nectar gland. The peristome of some species is
much reduced, especially so in the upper pitchers. In others the corrugations of the
peristome have become vastly enlarged and widely spaced, giving the appearance of

lid glands range in size from less than 0.1 mm to 3 mm across, and may be either

Nepenthes are dioecious, and only begin flowering once upper pitchers are pro-
tial peduncles bear somewhat fewer flowers. Towards the apex of the inflorescence
in all species, the partial peduncles are invariably fewer-flowered, and many species,
even the paniculate ones, may have variants with wholly 1-flowered partial peduncles
PHYLOGENETIC CONSIDERATIONS
The natural relations of Nepenthaceae have been much contested in the past. Biochem-
istry and rbcL gene sequence data (Williams et al., 1994) suggest that Nepenthes has

Of the 82 species of Nepenthes, only 10 species have distributions greater than a sin-

encompassing the of all but six other species. Danser was struck by the iso-

Hills, and suggested a Gondwanic origin of the genus to account for their distribu-
tion, with a relatively recent expansion into the Malesia region 1928).

Besides N. mirabilis, two other species have a moderately broad distribution; N.
ampullaria, found from Sumatra to New Guinea, but mysteriously absent from Sula-

Flowering material may be of benefit in identifying the paniculate species (10), but it
is of less use for the majority of species. The branching of the partial peduncles and
the stem (whether petiolate or sessile and combined with amplexicaul or decurrent
bases) provide important characters. Leaf shape may be somewhat variable, but the

The indumentum can provide important characters, by its type, density and colour.
A number of important collections have not been available for this study, and we
have not been able to see the collections at the following herbaria: B (Warburg), CGE
(T. Lobb), FI (Beccari), PENN (Macfarlane), PNH (Philippine material), SAN (re-
cent Sabah material) and the herbarium of the Nippon Dental College, Fujimi, Tokyo
Kurata other collections remain in and the
(Shigeo collections). Many private hands,
of number of recently published species (N. glabrata
holotypes a eymae, N. and N.
hamata) have not been deposited in the herbaria stated in their protologues. For 12
recently described Indonesian taxa, no type has been deposited at the national herbar-
ium (Bogor).
Many of the early collections from Asia, from which species were described, were
not identifiedby numbers or exact dates or localities, and interpretation of several types
(e.g., those collected by Burbidge, Fobb and Fow) is complicated by this lack of in-
formation. In interpreting these types we have taken care to ensure that the localities
and description are compatible with the original protologues, as well as all other clues
ed; these are either based on mixed types or derive from horticultural sources of un-
known provenance.

cess to CGE, where (TL-2) the top set of T. Lobb is held. On balance we have de-
cided to lectotypify using the figure cited in the protologue since this is the only
original element and unambiguously represents the species to which this name
is
usually applied. We have maintained the authority as T. Lobb ex Lindl., since, al-
though Lindley is not credited with authorship of the species name in the text, he was
editor of the journal at that time (TL-2), and it seems that he must be responsible for
the figures and legend in question. It was often the case in this journal that uncredited
confirmed by the fact that he is credited with authorship of the other new species
in the legend, N. sanguinea. Macfarlane (1908) cites N.
name teysmanniana Miq. as
being synonymous with N. albomarginata, and indeed the Utrecht specimen of the
type number ( Teijsmann 530) does belong to this species, but the Bogor specimen
under this number, and the description clearly indicate N. gracilis.
2. This species is sometimes confused with Nepenthes gracilis but immediately
distinguished from this and all other species by the bright white, narrow band of
densely packed silky hairs just below the peristome; the pitcher is often covered by
short white hairs. The lower surface of the leaf usually bears simple
coppery-red,
hairs 1-1.5 mm long. In some specimens the white peristome hairs can dry dark
however, particularly when collected into alcohol. Populations from Sumatra and
Borneo (e.g. Bako National Park) often have very narrow cylindrical, almost pencil-
thin pitchers, whilst in other from Peninsular
populations, especially Malaysia (e.g.
G. G. the infundibuliform with broader peristomes,
Jerai, Ophir), pitchers are more
and G. Ophir. It is possible that this distribution reflects competitive exclusion from

stem as with Drosera rotundifolia in a Sphagnum bog. More field studies are needed
to verify this hypothesis. The diminutive stature, lack of upper pitchers and lack of
climbing habit are also unusual in the genus and this species must contend as the
smallest at maturity of all. Argent (pers. comm.) reports that the plants he collected

2. The huge peristome thorns, the reniform lid which is broader than long, and the
ant-hollowed tendrils and stems, are unique features of this species. The paniculate
inflorescence has scorpioid partial peduncles similar to those of N. madagascariensis
and N. masoalensis.
3. The tendril of the pitcher is nearly always hollowed out and occupied by a golden-
coloured ant of the genus Camponotus. The ants are said to recover prey items from
the pitcher fluid (Clarke & Kitching, 1993). Numerous nectar glands are found scat-
tered on the stem, upper midribs and tendrils, and the spur is likewise often densely
glandular. The long attenuation of the peristome to the lid, and the recurved thorns
may represent a specialised method of ant capture, rather than the fanciful protective
large leaf-blades. This be an adaptation to the somewhat shady sites that this
may
species favours.

Notes —
1. This species was outlined in Jebb (1991); at that time insufficient ma-
terial was available for a complete description. It is a gracile species with a yellowish
of the rosette leaves, and the ability of the plants to grow in shade, where they fail to
produce pitchers.
2. Nepenthes tomoriana Danser from Sulawesi is the only paniculate species with
which N. danseri is likely to be confused. Nepenthes danseri is told apart by the lack
of a bract on the partial-peduncles, and the fewer, larger glands on the lid. The rosette
and lower pitchers of N. tomoriana are ellipsoid and much more inflated, 3.5-4 cm
wide (not 1.8-2.5 cm), the fringe elements 5-10 mm long (not 0.5-1.5 mm) and
grouped in clusters (not evenly spaced); the peristomes are 4 mm deep on the inner

2. Danser reduced this species to N. villosa, while Harms resurrected it. Marabini
described a subspecies from Mt. Trus Madi in Sabah: Nepenthes edwardsiana subsp.
Marabini. In view of the different facies of this latter taxon,
macrophylla very we
have decided to
change the status to that of a species.
3. Closely related and sometimes confused with Nepenthes villosa and N. macro-
phylla. This species is a climber, the tendrils are exceptionally long, and the pitchers
ventricose below, tubular above. Nepenthes villosa is a prostrate scrambler with
short urceolate pitchers. The pitchers of N. edwardsiana differ from those of the
least 4 times as long as broad (vs. woody, broadly cylindrical and less than 3 times
as long as
broad in N. macrophylla), the lower 1/3-1/4 of the pitcher is slightly

mouthed gland on the abaxial surface (i.e. away from the lid), and below each peri-
stome tooth there is a distinct, elliptic pocket. In N. villosa the gland has a toothed
opening, and the pockets are so deepened as to form a series of rectangular partitions
between the front peristome, and a second series of irregular teeth which lies close to
the pitcher wall. In N. rajah the inner peristome wall is elaborated to form three lay-

in this species the lid bristles are far less numerous, concentrated towards the base of
the lid and are both shorter and stouter than those shown. Danser did not appreciate
how similar this species was to N. lowii. The upper pitchers of N. ephippiata differ
from those of N. lowii in their less constricted middle, their more developed peri-
stome, and their relatively large lids. Both N. ephippiata and N. lowii have more or

posed holotype ( Kurata 102a), and series of paratypes (Kurata 103, 104 & 105) was
not stated (although the name is nonetheless valid under article 37 of the ICBN), and
the holotype is illustrated in the original publication. Similarly, the types proposed by
Turnbull and Middleton have not been found at Bogor (though they are
cited here).
The name Eyma is feminine, even though the collector was male, and the correct
ending is therefore
eymae.

1. Ridley described N. gracillima from Mt. Tahan collections in 1908.
At the same
time he identified other specimens collected on the same expedition as N.
bongso Korth. In 1924 he corrected this identification, and described the latter
specimens as a new species: N. alba, and at the same time described N. ramispina
from Mt. Semangka in the Genting Highlands. Danser reduced all these

2. Nepenthes gracillima can
be distinguished from N. ramispina by its smaller
size. The pitcher is not as attenuated, the is usually simple, the lid glands are
spur
larger, fewer and more uniform in size, and the whole plant is somewhat glabres-
cent. The coloration of the upper pitchers of N. gracillima is particularly striking: they
are green in their lower part, becoming pale yellow to ivory white in their
upper parts,
with rose coloured markings throughout. Kiew (1990) discussed the species on G.

Notes —
1. Blume's 1823 publication of the name Nepenthes melamphora was in
reference to a Reinwardt description which, in the event, was never published. Nees
decided was more complete than that for N. melamphora, and he therefore decided to
substitute the new name (with Reinwardt as the author) so as to avoid confusion with
46 BLUMEA Vol. 42, No. 1, 1997
Blume's name.
Since Reinwardt is not the author of this latter name however, author-
ship can
only be attributed to Nees. At Leiden there are a number of specimens that
have been annotated as 'Type' material for N. melamphora. The various Korthals
sheets (male plants) are clearly not correct, since they have been collected after publi-
cation of the names [Korthals reached Java in 1831 (Van Steenis-Kruseman, 1950)].
Danser (1928) cites a sterile Reinwardt collection made in 1817, and distinguished
Leiden in 1993. However, since this specimen was said to be sterile (Danser, 1928),
excludes it original material. The latter sheets, the other hand, may
again as on com-
prise original material of N. melamphora. Nees von Esenbeck was dismissed from
Breslau University in 1851 for 'moral turpitude' and his herbarium was split up and
sold (TL-2). The whereabouts of the N. gymnamphora material (the collection having
been sold to several herbaria) is unknown to us. In the meantime we have decided
not to lectotypify this species on a specimen, and plate 19 in Nees' original publica-
tion (1824) is selected to serve as the lectotype (stem, leaves and inflorescence), and
based on mixed types, as resolved by Schlauer & Nerz (1994); Tamin & Hotta

the name
of neither collector. At Kew there is a collection with a printed label of
cies, Lawas River, 2000 to 3000 feet no flowering or seeding specimens seen." At
Vienna (W) there is a duplicate of this sheet with details presumably transcribed from
the Kew label. Beck probably saw the Kew material as well, and he has no doubt in-
terpreted the handwriting as Low's. The specimens accord exactly to Beck's descrip-
tion in both dimensions and appearance. Macfarlane (1908) placed N. hispida as a
synonym of N. hirsuta, in the var. typica which he described. Under this variety he
cites 3 collections: "Low!, Beccari!, Burbidge!", since the former specimen is most
likely the type of N. hirsuta, the varietal name is superfluous and illegitimate. The
last named specimen however, is in all likelihood the specimen we interpret here as
bristle-like hairs 1.5-4 mm long (1-2 mm long in N. hirsuta) on purplish grey stems
(brown in N. hirsuta). The male flowers have a staminal column only 1.5-2 mm

collection being known from nearby Brunei and the type from the Lawas River.

this confusion in the Gardeners' Chronicle (1881, vol. 2: 818 & f. 157), where he
gives the first full description and illustration of N. x hookeriana. However, until
Macfarlane's revision the taxon still remained dubious taxonomically, even though

2. Nepenthes x
hookeriana is a naturally occurring hybrid between N. ampullaria
and N. rafflesiana (Macfarlane, 1908). In morphology it is intermediate between the
parental species. The leaf-blade exhibits the venation typical of N. ampullaria, with
the longitudinal veins in the outer 1 /2 of the blade only, and a shortly petiolate base.
The lower pitchers are urceolate with broad pitcher wings and a broad, rounded peri-
stome, but this is not developed into the long apical neck seen in N. rafflesiana. The
lid is oblong to oblong-ovate, with a blunt or notched apex, and two prominent lat-
eral veins, the lid glands are distributed throughout, unlike those of N. rafflesiana,
which are densest near the margins.

highly viscous pitcher fluid allows rainwater to be shed from the pitcher without di-
luting or washing away the partly-digested contents (Wistuba, 1994). The weight of
excess rainwater causes the pitcher to overbalance, shedding the water from the broad

lower pitchers, however, are ovoid and bear a well developed peristome. The
upper
pitcher is green outside and a deep maroon red inside. The lid is relatively small, re-
gested that the unique pitcher shape may be an adaptation to preventing rainwater
from diluting or leaching the pitcher contents below the narrow 'waist'.

Elmer, the true number being 13705. This collection is a mixture, and the other spe-
longitudinal nerves on each side of the midrib in the outer 2/3 of the blade, the pitch-
mouth and long peristome teeth do not suggest that they are conspecific. Further ma-

2. Closely related to N. edwardsiana and N. macrophylla. With the former spe-
cies it overlaps at the lower end of its altitudinal range. Intermediate taxa can be as-
cribed to the hybrid N. x harryana. Nepenthes villosa differs from both these species
in its emarginate leaf-blade, long villose tendril, and its ellipsoid villose pitcher which
lacks any narrowing at its middle. The peristome has a double inner layer, linked by
cross walls, and forming a series of rectangular partitions between the front peristome
and an inner layer which lies close to the pitcher wall.
