Subject: Classification of Nepenthes pervillei

I have a question (I suspect for Jan) but I thought I would pose it to
the list. I recently looked up Nepenthes in "Flowering Plants of the
World" edited by V. H. Heywood. In the brief description it says:

"The family is usually regarded as containing a single genus, Nepenthes,
but some authorities consider that the Seychelles species Nepenthes
pervillei represents a separate genus Anurosperma."

 I don't know much about Nepenthes pervillei and I am curious as to what
is so unique about it that anyone would think that it belongs to a
separate genus.

Thanks,
Rich
