|}} ''Nepenthes benstonei'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Peninsular Malaysia, where it grows at elevations of 150–1350 m above sea level.〔〔McPherson, S.R. & A. Robinson 2012. ''Field Guide to the Pitcher Plants of Peninsular Malaysia and Indochina''. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole.〕 The specific epithet ''benstonei'' honours botanist Benjamin Clemens Stone, who was one of the first to collect the species.〔 ==Botanical history== In their 1997 monograph, "A skeletal revision of ''Nepenthes'' (Nepenthaceae)", Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek tentatively referred specimens collected from Bukit Bakar, near Macang, Kelantan, to ''N. sanguinea''.〔 These were ''Stone & Chin 15238'', deposited at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia near Kuala Lumpur (KLU), and ''Shah & Shukor 3168'', also held at KLU as well as the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia in Kepong (KEP). They noted that the plants exhibited some unusual morphological features, such as larger leaves and decurrent, almost petiolate leaf bases, suggesting that they might represent an as-yet undescribed taxon.〔 Field studies confirmed that the taxon represented a separate species, and it was formally described as ''N. benstonei'' in 1999 by Charles Clarke.〔〔Schlauer, J. 2000. (Literature reviews. ) ''Carnivorous Plant Newsletter'' 29(2): 53.〕 The holotype of ''N. benstonei'', ''Clarke s.n.'', was collected by Charles Clarke on 24 July 1998, on Bukit Bakar in Kelantan at an altitude of between 450 and 550 m. It is deposited at the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia in Kepong (KEP). Isotypes are held at Herbarium Bogoriense (BO), the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (K), the National Herbarium of the Netherlands in Leiden (L), the Forest Department in Sandakan (SAN), and the Singapore Botanic Gardens (SING).〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nepenthes benstonei」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
