New Nepenthes, Volume 2

More new species of Nepenthes (tropical pitcher plants) have been discovered and named during the last decade than at any point in history.

Forty six new Nepenthes species have been described since the publication of New Nepenthes Volume 1, in 2011. This work presents an account of each of these 46 new Nepenthes, as well as the descriptions of three further new species (introduced in this book for the very first time), several exciting and colourful expedition reports and other new findings from the field.

New Nepenthes Volume 2 is crammed full of exciting new information and stunning imagery!

This work is specifically designed to complement the upcoming Redfern books “Nepenthes – The Tropical Pitcher Plants, Volumes 1, 2 and 3”.

The taxonomy, expedition reports, new discoveries and new knowledge from the field presented in New Nepenthes Volume 2 sets up the treatment of the genus in “Nepenthes – The Tropical Pitcher Plants, Volumes 1, 2 and 3”.
