Re: Nepenthes thorelii aggregate distribution map
Hi,
Yes, I didn't include N. kongkandana because it's not published yet. I don't know if it will be one day.
The map is far from complete. There are several dots in Cambodia and in Vietnam that I have withdrawn because I haven't studied the Nepenthes yet, or because I wasn't able to identify old locations names.
This map is going to be denser within a few years, for sure!
Marcello is right about the current state of Nepenthes taxonomy. We wan safely say that it is in its "infancy". Maybe, in the distant or quite near future, taxonomists will reclassify a lot of taxa (and I'm not talking only about the species from the "thorelii aggregate"), but, until then, we need to locate, study, name, and spread the plants in cultivation.
All the best,
François.
