Dear Members of the CPUK forum,

My name is Stewart McPherson. Over the last few years I have made various posts on the CPUK forum about Nepenthes to discuss new species and different taxa that I have observed in the wild.

I just wanted to say thank you to all who have contributed with comments and input, as this made possible two new books which look at every species of Nepenthes and Cephalotus in the wild. Many CPUK forum members contributed and, in a very real way, shaped the content of this work, and so thank you for helping make this study possible!

The new books are entitled Pitcher Plants of the Old World Volume One and Volume Two and are 1399 pages long - please see http://www.redfernnaturalhistory.com for details.

Pitcher Plants of the Old World Volume One consists of the following chapters; Introduction, Carnivorous Plants of the World, The Pitcher Plants of the Old World, The Evolution of the Pitcher Plants of the Old World, Trapping Processes, Infauna, Nepenthes of Borneo and Nepenthes of Peninsular Malaysia and Indochina.

Pitcher Plants of the Old World Volume Two comprises Nepenthes of the Philippines, Nepenthes of Sumatra and Java, Nepenthes of Sulawesi, Nepenthes of New Guinea and the Maluku Islands, Nepenthes of the Outlying Areas, Nepenthes Hybrids, Cephalotus follicularis, Habitat Loss and the Threat of Extinction and Cultivation and Horticulture, Appendix, Glossary, Bibliography, Index.

The two volumes contain 751 spectacular images and cover all 120 species of Nepenthes, plus 5 incompletely diagnosed taxa, along with Cephalotus follicularis. Several of the species documented in this work have been discovered only very recently and, in many cases, the photographs presented in this work are among the first to be published. Examples include N. argentii, N. attenboroughii, N. bellii, N. bokorensis, N. burkei, N. copelandii, N. danseri, N. deaniana, N. gracillima, N. kampotiana, N. klossii, N. kongkandana, N. mantalingajanensis, N. masoalensis, N. micramphora, N. mindanaoensis, N. mira, N. naga, N. paniculata, N. papuana, N. peltata, N. pilosa, N. pitopangii, N. surigaoensis, N. tenax, N. tenuis, N. tomoriana, N. sp. Trang, N. sp. Phanga Nga, N. sp. Sulawesi, N. sp. Misool and N. sp. Papua. A newly discovered taxon from the Philippines, Nepenthes micramphora V.Heinrich, S.McPherson, Gronemeyer & Amoroso, is formally described in the Appendix and introduced here for the first time.

Again, thank you all for your help in making this complete study of Nepenthes and Cephalotus possible through your comments and input.
