Default "New Nepenthes", Stewart McPherson's new release

Hello,

The casual reader might be suprised to discover a new Nepenthes monography after the recent and comprehensive "Pitcher Plants of the Old World" (2009), which actually also included the genus Cephalotus.
Actually, an important number of new Nepenthaceae have been discovered during the three years since the publication of the 2009 monograph .
"New Nepenthes" by Stewart McPherson documents all new taxa that have been discovered and described in this span of time. This new title includes the formal scientific descriptions of eight new Nepenthes species, along with the presentations of over a dozen further recently described taxa that have not been covered in any past book.
The chapters in this work are arranged as regional groupings.

The cover shows Nepenthes appendiculata:

All the best,

François.
