|}} ''Nepenthes inermis'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra. The specific epithet ''inermis'' is Latin for "unarmed" and refers to the upper pitchers of this species, which are unique in that they completely lack a peristome.〔 ==Botanical history== ''Nepenthes inermis'' was first collected on September 7, 1918, by H. A. B. Bünnemeijer on Mount Talang, at an altitude of above sea level. Two further collections were made by Bünnemeijer on Bukit Gombak on November 16, 1918, at and A fourth specimen was taken on April 26, 1920, from an elevation of on Mount Kerintji.〔 This final specimen, ''Bünnemeijer 9695'', was later designated as the lectotype of ''N. inermis'' by Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek.〔Jebb, M.H.P. & M.R. Cheek 1997. A skeletal revision of ''Nepenthes'' (Nepenthaceae). ''Blumea'' 42(1): 1–106.〕 ''Nepenthes inermis'' was first illustrated in an issue of ''De Tropische Natuur'' published in 1927.〔〔Danser, B.H. 1927. Indische bekerplanten. ''De Tropische Natuur'' 16: 197–205.〕 A year later, B. H. Danser formally described ''N. inermis'' in his seminal monograph "The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies". He wrote: "This new species is easily distinguishable from all others by the peculiar pitchers without peristome and with very narrow lid. Probably it is most nearly related to ''N. Bongso''."〔 Several of the specimens collected by Bünnemeijer were labeled with the local vernacular names ''galoe-galoe antoe'' and ''kandjong baroek''. Danser noted that these originate from the Minangkabau language and are also used to refer to other species, but stated that their meaning was not clear to him.〔 In 1986, Mitsuru Hotta and Rusjdi Tamin included plant material belonging to ''N. dubia'' and ''N. inermis'' in their description of ''N. bongso''.〔〔Clarke, C.M. 2001. ''Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu.〕 In a 1993 study of ''Nepenthes'' prey and pitcher infauna,〔Kato, M., M. Hotta, R. Tamin & T. Itino 1993. Inter- and intra-specific variation in prey assemblages and inhabitant communities in ''Nepenthes'' pitchers in Sumatra. ''Tropical Zoology'' 6(1): 11–25. (Abstract )〕 the same authors, together with M. Kato and T. Itino, identified ''N. inermis'' from Mount Gadut as ''N. bongso''.〔 Despite this taxonomic confusion, ''N. bongso'' differs considerably in pitcher morphology from ''N. inermis'' and is not easily confused with it. 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 inermis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
