《苏门答腊岛与西马来西亚的猪笼草》(Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia)是由查尔斯·克拉克所著的关于苏门答腊、西马来西亚及周围岛屿上的猪笼草属食虫植物的专著。2001年,该书由自然历史出版社出版。[1]查尔斯·克拉克将其描述为“生态学和分类学相统一的”著作。[1]
该书详细描述了34个物种。还包括了2个“未描述及未完全鉴定的类群”:“Nepenthes species A”(之后被描述为硬叶猪笼草(N. rigidifolia))[5]和“Nepenthes species B”(之后被描述为泉氏猪笼草(N. izumiae))[6]。及3个“鲜为人知的类群”:翼状猪笼草(N. alata,之后被证明并不存在于该地区)、贝卡利猪笼草(N. beccariana)和容洪猪笼草(N. junghuhnii)。该专著还包含了18个自然杂交种的简短描述。[1]
The author has achieved a remarkable goal, viz. to study almost all species of Nepenthes occurring in the title area in situ, to review their taxonomy, to gather new insights in their ecology, and to present all this valuable information in a concise but entertaining form, accompanied by pictures of unprecedented quality and beauty.
In conclusion, this book blends ecology and taxonomy together with abundant eye catching photos and thoughtful text. It therefore has appeal to natural history scientists as well as carnivorous plant enthusiasts. It sets a higher standard for carnivorous plant publications and fills a significant gap in published information on a centre of diversity for a large (both in stature and number of taxa) carnivorous plant.
