A skeletal revision of Nepenthes (Nepenthaceae)

"A skeletal revision of Nepenthes (Nepenthaceae)" is a monograph by Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek on the tropical pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes. It was published in the May 1997 issue of the botanical journal Blumea. The work represented the first revision of the entire genus since John Muirhead Macfarlane's 1908 monograph. Jebb and Cheek's revision was based on "collaborative work by both authors since 1984, largely on herbarium specimens, but including fieldwork in New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Madagascar". It was a precursor to their more exhaustive 2001 monograph, "Nepenthaceae".

The authors recognised 82 species, including six described for the first time: N. argentii, N. aristolochioides, N. danseri, N. diatas, N. lamii, and N. murudensis. Additionally, N. macrophylla was raised to a species from infraspecific rank. Jebb and Cheek also included five "little known taxa": N. deaniana, N. junghuhnii, N. melamphora var. lucida, N. neglecta, and N. smilesii. Three taxa were excluded: N. cincta, N. cristata, and N. lindleyana. Three widespread natural hybrids were also covered.
