Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia

Chapters cover topics relating to the structure of the pitcher plans, their ecology, how they catch prey, animals that live in pitcher plants and other interactions between them and animals. A large chapter describes the Nepenthes species of Sumatra; the natural hybrids are discussed; there is a chapter on conservation and another on cultivation. This is a very interesting book about a fascinating type of plant. Numerous colour photographs illustrate the various species; maps also show species distribution.
