The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies is a seminal monograph on the Nepenthaceae by Dutch botanist B. H. Danser originally published in the Bulletin de Jardin de Botanique in 1928.
Danser recognised 65 species, including several new taxa. All were described in great detail, many accompanied by line drawings. He divided the genus Nepenthes into six clades, based on observations of herbarium material. The clades were: the Vulgatae, Montanae, Nobiles, Regiae, Insignes and Urceolatae.
Danser's classification was undoubtedly a great improvement on previous attempts, and forms the basis of more recent monographs, such as those of Charles Clarke (1997, 2001) and Matthew Jebb & Martin Cheek (1997).
The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies was reprinted by Natural History Publications (Borneo) in 2006.
