The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies

The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies is a seminal monograph on the Nepenthaceae by Dutch botanist B. H. Danser originally published in the "Bulletin de Jardin de Botanique" in 1928.

Danser recognised 65 species, including 17 new taxa. All were described in great detail, many accompanied by line drawings. He divided the genus "Nepenthes" into six clades, based on observations of herbarium material. The clades were: the "Vulgatae", "Montanae", "Nobiles", "Regiae", "Insignes" and "Urceolatae".

Danser's classification was undoubtedly a great improvement on previous attempts, and forms the basis of more recent monographs, such as those of Charles Clarke (1997, 2001) and Matthew Jebb & Martin Cheek (1997).

The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies was reprinted by Natural History Publications (Borneo) in 2006. (ISBN 983-812-115-0)
