Malindang, Lake Duminagat, May 1993, Gaerlan, Sagcal & Romero in PPI 10911 (BRIT!). Distribution, habitat & phenology Philippines, Mindanao; evergreen forest, volcanic substrates. Elevation: ca. 1400 m. Conservation status Nepenthes kurata sp. nov. is here assessed as Critically Endangered under Criterion D of IUCN (2012) since currently only two individuals, probably at a single location (as currently defined by IUCN) are known. This site, the ca. 6 ha crater Lake Duminagat, is within the ca. 50,000 ha Mt Malindang Range Natural Park of which at least 20,000 ha has been cleared for cultivation purposes, but which is a tentative World Heritage Site (http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/5029/, downloaded 16 July 2013). In 2012 the Park was designated as an ASEAN Heritage Park (http://news.pia.gov.ph/index. php?article=1451343449808, downloaded 16 July 2013). It is to be hoped that further investigation will discover additional individuals and locations for this species, decreasing its threat status, and increasing the likelihood that it can be protected. Since the terrain of Mt Malindang is reported as being rugged, with much forest surviving, there is every reason to hope that the species survives there, unlike Nepenthes robcantleyi Cheek (Cheek 2011) also from Mindanao, which is already suspected to be extinct in the wild due to the almost total clearance of forest habitat at the single known wild location due to logging (Cheek 2011). Remarks The first Nepenthes taxa described from Mindanao, both of the N. alata group, (Cheek & Jebb 2013d), were N. alata var. ecristata Macfarl. (Macfarlane 1908), based on Mearns & Hutchinson 4632 from Mt Malindang, and N. copelandii Macfarl. (Macfarlane 1908) from Mt Apo. The first of these we here elevate to species level as N. kurata Jebb & Cheek sp. nov. Previously we had considered this taxon to be synonymous with N. mindanaoensis Sh.Kurata (Kurata 2001) (Cheek & Jebb 2013d). The two taxa do have similarities in the overall shape of the upper pitchers, the weakly to moderately developed basal lid appendage and the sparse nectar glands of the lower lid surface. However they can be distinguished using the characters in Table 1. The number and extent of these features merit elevation from varietal to specific-level recognition in our opinion. Although the type specimen has rosette stems and intermediate pitchers only, a second specimen, with climbing stems and upper pitchers, Gaerlan et al. in PPI 10911 came to light recently. It is from the type locality and matches the type in essential details. Nepenthes kurata sp. nov. has the spot character within the Nepenthes alata group of a small, more or less orbicular lid, only about half the length of the pitcher mouth. Macfarlane (1908) characterised his N. alata var. ecristata by the lid appendage being either reduced or absent; the nectar glands being few, medium to large in size, and irregularly dispersed. Of the single specimen cited (Mearns & Hutchinson 4632), only two sheets (PH and K) have been found, both annotated in Macfarlane’s hand, each with two intermediate pitchers. Although all four pitchers share a basal ridge (Fig. 1 F–H), only one of the four has an appendage, and that is only moderately developed as a convex emergence from the basal ridge (Fig. 1H). However a recent collection (Gaerlan et al. in PPI 10977) with upper pitchers, does show a developed appendage (Fig. 1E), suggesting the epithet ecristata “lacking a crest” is inappropriate. In any case, the Code demands priority only at one rank, so there is no requirement to adopt the varietal epithet at specific level, for which reason Macfarlane’s taxon is renamed as N. kurata sp. nov. The upper pitchers also differ from the intermediate pitchers in the greater density of the nectar glands on the lower surface of the lid. However the shape, distribution and size of the nectar glands remain similar. This is the only known species of Nepenthes from Mt Malindang at this time, and it is therefore the most westerly known species of the genus in Mindanao. Nepenthes kurata sp. nov. is still incompletely known, full details on its ecology, altitudinal range, population density, inflorescences and infructescences, and ethnobotany remain to be discovered. The type specimens were collected by Major E.A. Mearns and W.J. Hutchinson in 1906 on the first recorded ascent of Mt Malindang, a volcanic mountain in the NW of Mindanao. Both sheets are annotated in the hand of Macfarlane as “ N. alata var. ecristata Macfarlane ”, and either could be selected as lectotype of that name. The K sheet is accordingly selected.Published as part of Cheek, Martin & Jebb, Matthew, 2013, Recircumscription of the Nepenthes alata group (Caryophyllales: Nepenthaceae), in the Philippines, with four new species, pp. 1-23 in European Journal of Taxonomy 69 on pages 6-9, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2013.69, http://zenodo.org/record/382769

Nepenthes kitanglad Jebb & Cheek 2013, sp. nov.
No full textNepenthes kitanglad Jebb & Cheek sp. nov. urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77134487-1 Fig. 2 Diagnosis Differs from N. saranganiensis Sh.Kurata in having angled, (not winged) stems, lower and upper pitchers strongly dimorphic, (not subdimorphic); in being a climbing epiphyte of forest (not a terrestrial shrub of open areas) and in having a strongly concave pitcher mouth with a long neck (not with the pitcher mouth flat or only slightly concave, lacking a neck). Etymology Named, as a noun in apposition, for Mt Kitanglad, the type and only known locality of the species. Type PHILIPPINES. Mindanao, Bukidnon Province, Intavas, Impasug-ong, Mt Kitanglad, 18 Jul. 1991, Gaerlan, Sagcal & Fernando in PPI 3274 (holotype BISH!; isotype BRIT!).

Lower pitchers narrowly ovoid-cylindric, 12.5 cm tall, 5 cm broad, widest in the basal half, narrowing steadily to ca. 3 cm wide below the peristome; outer surface 10–25% covered in pale brown hairs of two types, (1) bushy brown hairs 0.1–0.25 mm long and wide, with 4–8 arms ascending from a short central axis, 7–12 per mm 2, (2) long brown straight erect hairs 1.5–1.75 (–2.5) mm long, with 2–4 short branches ascending from along the length of the main axis, sparse; fringed wings, 2–4 mm wide, running 3–4 cm from peristome towards base of pitcher, then diminished to slender ridges, wings extended over the peristome by two foliose flaps 3–4 × 3–4 mm, fringed elements 4–5 mm long, 2.5 mm apart (1.5 mm apart on foliose flaps); mouth ovate-lanceolate, highly oblique, concave, ca. 4.1 × 2.8 cm; column developed, tapering towards lid ca. 9 mm long, 2.5 mm wide at midpoint; peristome subcylindric, 1 mm wide at front of pitcher to 3 mm wide at sides, ridges ca. 2.5 per mm, ridges 0.1 mm high, inner edge lacking conspicuous teeth or holes, outer edge not lobed. Lid narrowly ovate to rhombic 3.5 × 2.3 cm, apex rounded, base rounded to truncate, lower surface lacking a basal appendage, but with a low basal ridge 10 mm long, 0.5–1 mm high, extending from the junction with the peristome; nectar glands small and sparse, 6–8 on each side of the midline which mainly lacks glands, absent from basal ridge, nectar glands monomorphic, slightly perithecoid, orbicular or slightly elliptic, 0.25(–0.35) mm long, mixed with denser sessile depressed-globose, red-black glands, 0.05– 0.1 mm diam., 8 per mm 2; marginal 2–3 mm of lower surface with minute stellate hairs densest near margin; upper surface with same indumentum as outer pitcher surface, but long hairs rarely seen. Spur not seen. Upper pitchers (tendril coiled) ovoid-cylindric, green, slightly maroon above, 21.5 × 6.5 cm, widest in the ovoid basal third, narrowing to ca. 5 cm wide in the cylindrical upper part; outer surface with same indumentum as lower pitcher; fringed wings reduced to ridges apart from two foliose flaps immediately below peristome, point of attachment 3–4 mm long, angular-elliptic, 9 × 6 mm, bearing fringes 2–7 mm long; mouth ovate-lanceolate 7 × 4 cm, oblique, concave, the frontal part straight; column ca. 1.5 × 0.8 cm; peristome rounded-flattened, 1.75–5.5 mm wide, widest at sides, ca. 1.75 ridges per mm, ridges 0.1 mm high, inner edge lacking conspicuous teeth or holes, outer edge not lobed.

Spur inserted 2 mm below junction of lid and pitcher, pointing downwards, terete, 17 × 0.9–1 mm, dilating to the 1.8 mm wide rhombic-acute apex, indumentum moderately dense of long patent simple hairs as on the pitcher outer surface. Male and female inflorescences unknown. Distribution and habitat Philippines, Mindanao, Bukidnon Province, known only from Mt Kitanglad; epiphytic in mossy forest, geology volcanic, elevation 1800–2100 m. Conservation Here N. kitanglad sp. nov. is assessed as Critically Endangered since it is known from only a single location, Mt Kitanglad, on an island which has seen extensive forest clearance for logging and agricultural expansion in recent years (McPherson 2009: 759). For these reasons one species, N. robcantleyi Cheek is already suspected to be extinct in the wild (Cheek 2011). Nepenthes kitanglad sp. nov. is not a spectacular or especially bizarre species so is unlikely to come under pressure of collection for the horticultural trade which has brought several species of the genus close to extinction. Remarks McPherson (2009: 755–759; figs 417 & 418) depicts from volcanic Mt Kitanglad in N-Central Mindanao a plant under the name of N. saranganiensis Sh.Kurata (Kurata 2003: 41). Yet, the Kitanglad plants he depicts differ from N. saranganiensis as depicted in its protologue in habit, habitat and in morphology. In 2013 sheets of Gaerlan et al. in PPI 3274 (BISH, BRIT) became available from Kitanglad.These matched McPherson’s (2009) depiction, enabling a detailed comparison to be made with N. saranganiensis. The conclusion is that the Kitanglad material represents a different species from N. saranganiensis and is here described as N. kitanglad sp. nov. Differences between the two taxa are given in Table 2. N. kitanglad sp. nov. is unusual in the N. alata species group (Cheek & Jebb 2013d) in the strongly concave mouth of the upper pitchers, in which the base of the lid is held over the mouth. It is also unusual in that the rear of the peristome narrows to a neck, forming a moderately well-defined column for the lid. Within the N. alata group, these two features are otherwise currently known only in N. hamiguitanensis Gronem., Wistuba, V.B.Heinrich, S.McPherson, Mey & V.B.Amoroso (Gronemeyer et al. 2010), but that species is restricted to ultramafic Mt Hamiguitan in SE Mindanao and differs greatly in the shape of the upper pitchers which are stout, widest at the midpoint, with a funneliform lower half narrowing to a more slender, cylindrical upper half. It is possible that N. hamiguitanensis, N. kitanglad sp. nov. and N. saranganiensis are related since all have angled stems (or in the case of the last species, winged), a feature otherwise unknown in the otherwise terete-stemmed N. alata group. Nepenthes kitanglad sp. nov. is unique in the N. alata group in its lid posture, as seen from photographs and herbarium specimens. The lid is held at ca. 45° below the horizontal, largely concealing the mouth. In other species it is usually elevated above the horizontal, sometimes by ca. 45° (N. saranganiensis) or as much as 90° or more (N. graciliflora Elmer). So far, N. kitanglad sp. nov. is the only species of Nepenthes recorded from Mt Kitanglad.Published as part of Cheek, Martin & Jebb, Matthew, 2013, Recircumscription of the Nepenthes alata group (Caryophyllales: Nepenthaceae), in the Philippines, with four new species, pp. 1-23 in European Journal of Taxonomy 69 on pages 10-13, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2013.69, http://zenodo.org/record/382769

Recircumscription of the Nepenthes alata group (Caryophyllales: Nepenthaceae) in the Philippines : with four new species
No full textAn overview of Nepenthes in the Philippines is presented. Four new species, Nepenthes extincta sp. nov., N. kitanglad sp. nov., N. kurata sp. nov. and N. leyte sp. nov. are described and illustrated from the Philippines and placed in the Nepenthes alata group. An updated circumscription and key to the species of the group is provided. Delimitation and comparison with the Regiae group is given. All four of the newly described species are assessed as threatened using the International Union for the Conservation of Nature 2012 standard, and one, N. extincta sp. nov. is considered likely to be already extinct due to open-cast mining. Logging and conversion of forest habitat are thought to be the main threats to the other three species
