An account of Nepenthes in New Guinea

The monograph was the result of work carried out by Jebb during an extended stay at the Christensen Research Institute in Papua New Guinea.

[3] Jebb provided a species key and descriptions of 11 taxa: N. ampullaria, N. insignis, N. klossii, N. maxima, N. mirabilis, N. neoguineensis, N. paniculata, N. papuana, N. treubiana, N. vieillardii (confused with N. lamii; now known to be endemic to New Caledonia),[4][5] and one undescribed species (later described as N. danseri).

[4] In addition to its species descriptions, "An account of Nepenthes in New Guinea" includes a survey of the prey assemblage found in 52 pitchers (belonging to 20 plants) of N. mirabilis.

[1] Botanist Martin Cheek reviewed the monograph in the December 1992 issue of the Carnivorous Plant Newsletter.

Very few typo's came to light [...].Discussing the section on prey assemblage, Cheek wrote that "[f]or perhaps the first time then, the hard facts are provided on predatory patterns in Nepenthes".
