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:
“Ceremony and ritual spring from our heart of hearts: those who govern us know it well, for they would sooner deny us bread than dare alter the observance of tradition.”

“Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,
Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,
Is that portentous phrase, “I told you so,”
Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
He who of those delights can judge, and spare
To interpose them oft, is not unwise.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
