Hello, OK, I don't feel comfortable with this as I should be one of the last person to make that announcement but my friend Marcello Catalano asked me to do so and he's right, this must be done. Dr Martin Cheek and Dr Martin Jebb have just published two new species of Nepenthaceae from Indochina: Nepenthes bokor from Cambodia and Nepenthes thai from Thailand. The paper is here: www.springerlink.com/content/1p753w22088423n4/?p=4eea024db3ab4c42b111dd29f8f8a562&pi=12Nepenthes group Montanae (Nepenthaceae) in Indo-China, with N. thai and N. bokor described as new , Kew Bulletin, Volume 64, Number 2 / juin 2009 As N. bokor Cheek has been published in august, it must be considered as a later synonym of N. bokorensis Mey. N. thai is a new species which has been sold a couple of times recently as "N. sp. Narathiwat". It is close to N. benstonei. Marcello Catalano will post in september a report on Nepenthes thai in his site: www.nepenthesofthailand.com/Last year, Marcello sent some seeds of Nepenthes thai to the major nurseries, so seedlings should be available in the near future. I'm quite familiar with N. thai so if you want to discuss about it, feel free to do it. I will ask Marcello if I can post some pictures of that new Nepenthaceae. Regards, François Mey.

cool! although Nepenthes thai sounds so...funny though. Is this new N. thai a large or small pitchering plant? Does it form those cool tuber-root stocks? Cant wait to see pics!

The write-up says yes, tuberous roots. I can't access much more without signing up for a 'membership'!

Hi, Francois
So, there's two species: N. bokor and N. bokorensis? Or the new N. bokor revised your N. bokorensis?
Did they communicate/contact you before its published? I think two "bokor" name are confusing...

Hi John,
Don't worry, it is just a latter synonym. For example, N. mirabilis has 16 later synonyms.

Thanks, Dave.
But, why we use N. mirabilis name and not other 16 synonyms? in your opinion, what do you like/suggest to use: N. bokor or N. bokorensis?
hmmm..i think its not about only naming thing..

it says N. bokor Cheek is a latter syn. of N. bokorensis Mey, so i believe that means N. bokorensis is the correct name to use.
