Nepenthes abalata, a new Filipino species

[Sockhom]

Hello,

Here is an exemple of digital taxonomy.

References of the paper:
Cheek M. & M. Jebb. Identification and typification of Nepenthes blancoi, with N. abalata sp. nov. from the Western Visayas, Philippines. Nordic Journal of Botany, published online on January 25, 2013.

I reviewed the paper on my blog:

All the best,

François.

Very interesting blog entry François. A great example for the need of rigorous peer review and discussion. It remains to be seen how important such on-line only taxonomic descriptions evolve and how resulting discussions weigh in acceptance or rejection of new or revised taxa.
