Hello,
OK, I don't feel comfortable with this as I should be one of the last person to make that announcement but my friend Marcello Catalano asked me to do so and he's right, this must be done.
Dr Martin Cheek and Dr Martin Jebb have just published two new species of Nepenthaceae from Indochina: Nepenthes bokor from Cambodia and Nepenthes thai from Thailand.
The paper is here:
www.springerlink.com/content/1p753w22088423n4/?p=4eea024db3ab4c42b111dd29f8f8a562&pi=12
Nepenthes group Montanae (Nepenthaceae) in Indo-China, with N. thai and N. bokor described as new , Kew Bulletin, Volume 64, Number 2 / juin 2009
As N. bokor Cheek has been published in august, it must be considered as a later synonym of N. bokorensis Mey.
N. thai is a new species which has been sold a couple of times recently as "N. sp. Narathiwat".
It is close to N. benstonei.
Marcello Catalano will post in september a report on Nepenthes thai in his site:
www.nepenthesofthailand.com/
Last year, Marcello sent some seeds of Nepenthes thai to the major nurseries, so seedlings should be available in the near future.
I'm quite familiar with N. thai so if you want to discuss about it, feel free to do it.
I will ask Marcello if I can post some pictures of that new Nepenthaceae.
Regards,
François Mey.
