A while back, Larry Logoteta posted a message about a new Nepenthes
book, entitled "Pitcher Plants of Borneo", by Anthea Phillips and
Anthony Lamb. Well, being a hardcore nep addict, I ordered the book
and it arrived last week. I recommend it to all lovers of Nepenthes.
The book is lavishly illustrated with watercolor illustrations of
Bornean Nepenthes, along descriptions of each plant and its habitat.
Having read many of the other works on CP in English, I can only say
that, IMHO, this is a very solid book and should be loved by those
of us who love Nepenthes.
For those who are interested, here is a repeat of the info on how to
purchase this book:
