Species cited '94/'95:
I am after verification of the species (Is it accepted as a legit. species?),
its founder (eg.Hook/Danser) and country of origin for the following (one or
two gaps unfilled. Any errors?):
* N.aristolochioidensis. (Founder?), Sumatra. (High/lowlander?)
* N.danseri. (Founder?), Waigeo & Halmahera. (High/lowlander?)
* N.diatas (Founder?), Sumatra (High/lowlander?)
* N.macrophylla. Marabini Borneo Highlander.
* N.adnata Tamin & Hotta Sumatra Highlander
* N.soma - appeared in Japanese catalogues 1989. Does it exist or is it
synonymous?
--------------------------------------------------------------
* N.philippinense/ensis (?) Macf. Philippines! H/L - is it considered a
seperate species to N.alata now?
* Nepenthes anamensis has two significant synonyms; geoffrayi and kampotiana.
Do either of these names apply to a seperate species in themselves, or are
plants labelled to this effect actually N.anamensis (assuming N.anamensis is
not a part of N.mirabilis complex, but a species).
Re: Nepenthes neglecta. Reported originally from Labuan. This species is
suggested to be extinct which is hardly surprising as Labuan has been so
heavily industrialised and developed since the 60's. Does anyone have any
idea as to when the species was last reported as having been located there? I
haven't been there since my interest in Nepenthes started, but I know that
Nn.rafflesiana, gracilis and probably the other common lowlanders can be found
here and there to this day.
If anyone can aid me in any way, it would really be appreciated.
Thanks for your help and patience.
