An account of Nepenthes in New Guinea


"An account of Nepenthes in New Guinea" is a monograph by Matthew Jebb on the tropical pitcher plants of New Guinea. It was published in the March 1991 issue of Science in New Guinea, a journal of the University of Papua New Guinea. It remains the only major monograph devoted to the tropical pitcher plants of the island.

The monograph was the result of work carried out by Jebb during an extended stay at the Christensen Research Institute in Papua New Guinea. It was preceded by a brief account of New Guinea Nepenthes published in the 1989 book The Carnivorous Plants.

Jebb provided a species key and descriptions of 11 taxa: N. ampullaria, N. insignis, N. klossii, N. maxima, N. mirabilis, N. neoguineensis, N. paniculata, N. papuana, N. treubiana, N. vieillardii (confused with N. lamii; now known to be endemic to New Caledonia), and one undescribed species (later described as N. danseri).
