The definitive Nepenthes thorelii description
 

Hello,

After the rediscovery of Nepenthes thorelii in August 2011, 102 years after it was last studied by qualified botanists, I decided, with a few colleagues to publish a scientific article on this elusive endemic taxon.
With the help of Luu Hong Truong and Dang Viet Dai from the Institute of Tropical Biology of Ho-Chi-Minh City and Alastair Robinson, well known Nepenthes expert, we wrote and just published a definitive taxonomic account on this poorly known species. The paper also provides a lot of ecological data. You will be interested I'm sure to learn about all the life forms associated to N. thorelii.
I hope, after this publication, than people will have a clear understanding of the delimitations of that Vietnamese species.

Here are the references of the paper:

The bibliography will be later added to the pdf.

All the best,
