Nepenthes sharifah-hapsahii
« Thread Started on Jul 7, 2007, 11:57pm » Hi,

This new species - Nepenthes sharifah-hapsahii was examined and described in August 2002 by Dr Jumaat Hj Adam and Hafiza. It took 5 years before it can be published and considered as a new species for Malaysia. It is a lowlander and was discovered in the UKM campus in Bangi. It has been named after the Vice Chancellor of UKM - Profesor Dato Dr Sharifah Hapsah.

Published in the International Journal of Botany 3(1):71-77,2007. I have post the copy of the Journal in my website in the PDF fomat (Last night it was under Word Doc - the wording is not very clear)

Maybe after Lisham expedition we will have another new species for Malaysia - Go Lisham go.

Hey, if you found it, you get to name it whatever you want. « Last Edit: Jul 9, 2007, 8:59am by David »Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedMy Wantlist cactustts

Alot of foreigners also commented that it's very lame to name a plant after some big shots or big bosses of the scientists who found the plant. There are many of such examples, with what they are doing with plant names, I guess Lisham you can get away with yours too!

Maybe you should refer to the journal for the comparison - it could be a N.sharifah-hapsahii as it does look like it. A few things such as the shape of the stem, the distribution of the nectar gland under the lid etc.
