"The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies" is a seminal monograph by B. H. Danser on the tropical pitcher plants of the Dutch East Indies and surrounding regions. It was originally published in the Bulletin du Jardin Botanique de Buitenzorg in 1928, and reprinted by Natural History Publications (Borneo) in 2006.
Danser focused on species native to the Dutch East Indies, North Borneo, the Malay Peninsula, and eastern New Guinea (an area roughly corresponding to Malesia minus the Philippines); species from outlying areas were only mentioned in the general discussion.
Danser recognised 65 species in total, of which 52 were given detailed treatments. This number included 17 newly described taxa: N. carunculata (later synonymised with N. bongso),N. clipeata, N. dubia, N. ephippiata, N. fusca, N. inermis, N. insignis, (later synonymised with N. hirsuta),N. mollis, N. paniculata, N. papuana, N. pectinata (later synonymised with N. gymnamphora),N. petiolata, N. pilosa, N. spectabilis, N. tobaica, and N. tomoriana. All were described in great detail, with many accompanied by line drawings. Danser synonymised N. edwardsiana with N. villosa, N. hemsleyana with N. rafflesiana, and N. ramispina with N. gracillima; all three were later reinstated as valid species.
