Nepenthes Sumatrana - Notes

Notes

a.^ The holotype of N. sumatrana, Teijsmann 535, consists of female specimens, three of which are deposited at the Bogor Botanical Gardens (formerly the Herbarium of the Buitenzorg Botanic Gardens), as well as one at the National Herbarium of the Netherlands in Leiden and one at the herbarium of Utrecht University.
b.^ The vernacular names mentioned by Teijsmann refer to all the Nepenthes species found by him near Sibolga. Danser notes that the first two originate from the Minangkabau language, whereas the latter is an orthographical error for tahoel-tahoel, which is the common Batak name for Nepenthes.
c.^ Plant material identified as N. spinosa by Tamin and Hotta consists of two main specimens: Tamin & Asmiati 425 and Tamin & Asmiati 426. Both are deposited at the Herbarium of Andalas University in Padang, West Sumatra and appear to represent N. sumatrana. However, Figure 8 in Tamin and Hotta's treatment illustrates a lower pitcher (Hotta 31158, held at the Herbarium of Kyoto University) that probably belongs to N. gymnamphora.

Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.
    —“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)

    There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    The drama critic on your paper said my chablis-tinted hair was like a soft halo over wide set, inviting eyes, and my mouth, my mouth was a lush tunnel through which golden notes came.
    Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
