Well, if someone has been in Myanmar, please drop me a PM! The informations are very few. According to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NepenthesNepenthes mirabilis Lour. and Nepenthes smilesii Hemsl. have been both collected in Myanmar. However, I do not have the references of thoses collections and I am, thus, waiting for material. François Mey.

Hello . This a link to "Nepenthes of Vietnam", a section of "Nepenthes of Thaïland" by Marcello Catalano: www.nepenthesofthailand.com/NepenthesofVietnam.htmFor now, the site includes an interesting N . smilesii field report written by Eric Schlosser, a few locations data, old prints of Indochina Nepenthes and herbarium pictures of species such as the native N. thorelii or N. anamensis. François.

Dear Michael , it sure seems funny that more people own N. Dyeriana than, let's say N. hamata tc. That depends of the part of the world where you live in. N. hamata is widespread in private collections here in Europe. This is absolutely not the case with x Dyeriana. I crave for one, I must confess . François.

Hello . N. geoffrayi was described by the french botanist Henri Lecomte the same year than N. kampotiana (1909, Notulae Systematicae). It has been collected in Cambodia in the province of Kampot OR near the town of Kampot (located, of course, in the eponymous province). We have no further location details. Jebb and Cheek has synonymised this taxon, and N. kampotiana, with N. anamensis Macfarl. in 1997 in their Skeletal revision of Nepenthes. This is a quote from Notulae Systematicae (1909) written by Lecomte: "[ N. geoffrayi] is quite related to N. anamensis Macfarl.; but can be distinguished: - by its leaves which are barely hairy, when young, and often mottled irregularly, with red; - by its inflorescence with a much shorter peduncle (15-20 cm instead of 40 cm and more); - by the lobes of the perianth which are more elongated; - by the longer seeds (7-8 mm instead of 5 mm)." Lecomte also notes variations on N. geoffrayi flowers. The above specimens are deposited at Paris Herbarium "Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle Departement de Systematique et Evolution - USM 602 Taxonomie et Collection Herbier (P) - Phanerogamie - CP 39 16, Rue Buffon - 75231 Paris Cedex 05 FRANCE" Thanks to Dr Sovanmoly HUL. Thanks to Tom Kahl for Lecomte's papers.François Mey.

Jebb and Cheek has synonymised this taxon with N. anamensis Macfarl. in 1997 in their Skeletal revision of Nepenthes. They chose to not lectotypify this material at the time because the collections are fragmented and the inflorescence is not attached to either a leaf or a stem. EDIT: Martin Cheek has spent times analysing again the Paris herbarium material and it seems he will reinstate N. kampotiana as a valid species.See Marcello Catalano's site for further details: www.nepenthesofthailand.com/These are the syntypes of N. kampotiana dwelling in Paris herbarium: The above specimens are deposited at Paris Herbarium "Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle Departement de Systematique et Evolution - USM 602 Taxonomie et Collection Herbier (P) - Phanerogamie - CP 39 16, Rue Buffon - 75231 Paris Cedex 05 FRANCE" Thanks to Dr Sovanmoly HUL.

Hello . N. sp. "Viking" is an undescribed taxon found in a few islands located in Andaman Sea, in the province of Phang Nga, southern Thailand There have been, a couple of years ago, rumors saying that Shigeo Kurata was going to describe this beautiful endemic thaï species as "Nepenthes globosa" but there is no description yet. Other rumors said that Kurata might consider it as a mere form of the variable and widespread N. mirabilis. N. sp. "Viking" is a variable plant in itself. Some strains develop elongated pitchers whereas other have a "boat form". Some pitchers are greenish; other are vivid red. See how variable N. sp. "Viking might be by checking this link to a page of Neofarm nursery: www.neofarmthailand.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=photo_view&event_id=3035Neofarm nursery even classifies the different "Viking" plants in grades with criteria based mainly on aestheticism. Plants without "neck" being classified as "pure" and called "grade A": www.neofarmthailand.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=article&Id=574513&Ntype=6We are all looking forward to read Kurata's work. The status of N. sp. "Viking" is far from clear. Trent and Michelle Meeks from Sunbelle Exotics note the presence of a glandular boss under the lid on their cultivated plants: pitcherplants.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=12&action=display&thread=5474&page=1From what I can tell, as a humble "Nepenthes student", is that N. sp. "Viking", exception made of the pitchers, is very close to N. mirabilis. The leaves and stem, for example are very similar, if not identical. However, this undescribed taxon also develops a rootstock system which makes it a relative to the mysterious N. thorelii, N. anamensis/smilesii and N. bokor ined (aka N. sp. Cambodia). All of which are species from former Indochina. François Mey.

What worries me the most is if these are tc clones, then everyone will have the same species or hybrid. Dear Michael, If my memory serves me right, the lingulata which have been sold the last few months are indeed TC plants but the plants from the first batch are seed grown plants (same for jamban and hamata "hairy"). I thus think both tonyc and Dave have seedgrown plants. Ch'ien Lee notes that lingulata is indeed related to izumiae. I don't know about the appendage but my young N. chaniana has 10 cm long pitchers and it just began to develop a visible crest under the lid. Friendly, François.

Hi Michael.
I've heard that N. ampullaria can be found in Thaïland but my friend Marcello Catalano hasn't managed to locate it yet. It would indeed be interesting to check the roots.
François.
