Nepenthaceae (2001 monograph)

"Nepenthaceae" is a monograph by Martin Cheek and Matthew Jebb on the tropical pitcher plants of Malesia, which encompasses Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Singapore.

The species descriptions presented in the monograph are based on the authors' field observations in Borneo, New Guinea, and Peninsular Malaysia, as well as the examination of plant material deposited at 20 herbaria.

They supported Charles Clarke's interpretation of N. borneensis and N. faizaliana in Nepenthes of Borneo, synonymising the former with N. boschiana and restoring the latter as a distinct species, separate from N. stenophylla.

Molecular identification and classification methods (removing all ambiguity) would have been more useful than the selection of epitypes to stabilize the names N. stenophylla and N. pilosa.Laura S. Meitzner Yoder gave a positive appraisal of the monograph in the January 2005 issue of Economic Botany:[5] Species descriptions include comprehensive references and characteristics of vegetative and floral parts.

Well illustrated, with 19 mostly full-page drawings, this volume is indispensable not only for the botanist and horticulturist, but also recommended for botanically inclined travellers who may encounter these curious plants in the wild.
