Nepenthaceae (1873 monograph)
"Nepenthaceae" is a monograph by Joseph Dalton Hooker on the tropical pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes.[1] It was published in 1873 in the seventeenth and final volume of Augustin Pyramus de Candolle's Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis, which was edited by Augustin's son, Alphonse.[1] The monograph focused primarily on new discoveries from northern Borneo.[2][3] Unlike most major works on Nepenthes, it included no illustrations.[1]
