''Nepenthes spectabilis'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra, where it grows at elevations of between 1400 and 2200 m above sea level. The specific epithet ''spectabilis'' is Latin for "visible" or "notable".〔Clarke, C.M. 2001. ''Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia''. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu.〕 ==Botanical history== The first known collection of ''N. spectabilis'' was made by Julius August Lörzing in 1920. The specimen ''Lörzing 7308'' was collected on June 5, 1920, on Mount Sibajak at an altitude of 1800 to 1900 m. It is deposited at the Bogor Botanical Gardens (formerly the Herbarium of the Buitenzorg Botanic Gardens) along with two isotypes which include both male and female floral material. A third isotype, sheet H.L.B. 928.350-170,〔 is held at the National Herbarium of the Netherlands in Leiden and includes female floral material.〔〔 Lörzing made two further collections of ''N. spectabilis'' in 1921. A fourth specimen was collected by Mohamed Nur bin Mohamed Ghose later that same year.〔 B. H. Danser formally described ''N. spectabilis'' in his seminal monograph "The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies", published in 1928.〔Danser, B.H. 1928. The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies. ''Bulletin du Jardin Botanique de Buitenzorg'', Série III, 9(3–4): 249–438.〕 He designated ''Lörzing 7308'' as the type specimen. Danser wrote:〔 This new species has only been found on the G. Sibajak and the G. Pinto, two tops of the same mountain ; the Bt. Semaik too certainly belongs to the same group. ''N. spectabilis'' grows above 1800 m elevation ; the habitat is alpine forest and scrub. It seems to be most closely related to ''N. sanguinea'' by the characters of the vegetative parts, but the inflorescences are quite different. The next major taxonomic treatment of ''N. spectabilis'' came only in 1986, when Rusjdi Tamin and Mitsuru Hotta covered the species in their monograph on the ''Nepenthes'' of Sumatra.〔 Tamin, R. & M. Hotta 1986. ''Nepenthes'' di Sumatera: The genus ''Nepenthes'' of the Sumatra Island. In: M. Hotta (ed.) ''Diversity and Dynamics of Plant Life in Sumatra: Forest Ecosystem and Speciation in Wet Tropical Environments. Part 1: Reports and Collection of Papers.'' Kyoto University, Kyoto. pp. 75–109.〕 An article authored by Bruce Lee Bednar and published in a 1987 issue of the ''Carnivorous Plant Newsletter'' mentions a plant known as ''N. spectabilis'' in the horticultural trade.〔Bednar, B.L. 1987. ''Carnivorous Plant Newsletter'' 16(3): 69–70.〕 Taxonomist Jan Schlauer considers this plant conspecific with ''N. curtisii'', which in turn is treated as a junior synonym of ''N. maxima''.〔Schlauer, J. 2006. (''Nepenthes spectabilis'' ). Carnivorous Plant Database.〕 In their 1997 revision of the genus, Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek treated specimens of ''N. lavicola'' as belonging to ''N. spectabilis''. They also designated ''Lörzing 7308'' as the lectotype of ''N. spectabilis''.〔Jebb, M.H.P. & M.R. Cheek 1997. A skeletal revision of ''Nepenthes'' (Nepenthaceae). ''Blumea'' 42(1): 1–106.〕 The subsequent monograph of Charles Clarke treats these taxa as distinct species.〔 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 spectabilis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
