About the Book

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 130. Not illustrated. Chapters: Nepenthes Mirabilis. Excerpt: Nepenthes mirabilis (pronounced, from Latin: mirabilis = wonderful), or the Common Swamp Pitcher-Plant, is a tropical carnivorous plant species of the pitfall trap variety. It has by far the widest distribution of any Nepenthes species and is known from the following countries and regions: Borneo, Sumatra, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sulawesi, Maluku Islands, Myanmar, Cambodia, New Guinea, Australia, Philippines, Indochina, China, Hong Kong, Micronesia, Macau, and Palau. It also exhibits great variabiliy with the most forms and varieties of any species in the genus, the most notable of which is N. mirabilis var. echinostoma, a rare variety endemic to Brunei and Sarawak that possesses an extremely wide peristome. The conservation status of N. mirabilis is listed as Least Concern on the 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In Hong Kong, it is a protected species under Forestry Regulations Cap. 96A. According to Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek, the pitchers of N. mirabilis are used as toy phallocrypts in New Guinea. N. mirabilis is closely related to N. rowanae and N. tenax, the only two Nepenthes species endemic to Australia. Across its range, N. mirabilis exhibits great variability in terms of pitcher morphology and colour. The following forms and varieties of N. mirabilis have been described. With the exception of N. mirabilis var. echinostoma and N. mirabilis var. globosa, these taxa are not considered valid today. N. mirabilis var. echinostoma was discovered by Odoardo Beccari in 1865 and described as a species, N. echinostoma, by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1873. In 1882, Frederick William Burbidge described this unusual variety in The Gardeners' Chronicle as follows: Beccari's singular N. echinostoma (vide Herb Kew) is a wonderful thing as yet unintroducedindeed...
