BLUMEA 42 (1997) 1-106 A skeletal revision of Nepenthes (Nepenthaceae) Matthew Jebb & Martin Chee k Summary A skeletal world revision of the genus is presented to accompany a family account forFlora Malesi- ana. 82 species are recognised, of which 74 occur in the Malesiana region. Six species are described is raised from and five restored from as new, one species infraspecific status, species are synonymy. Many names are typified for the first time. Three widespread, or locally abundant hybrids are also included. Full descriptions are given for new (6) or recircumscribed (7) species, and emended descrip- Critical for all the Little tions of species are given where necessary (9). notes are given species. known and excluded species are discussed. An index to all published species names and an index of exsiccatae is given. Introduction Macfarlane A world revision of Nepenthes was last undertaken by (1908), and a re- Malesiana the gional revision forthe Flora area (excluding Philippines) was completed of this is to a skeletal revision, cover- by Danser (1928). The purpose paper provide issues which would be in the ing relating to Nepenthes taxonomy inappropriate text of Flora Malesiana.For the majority of species, only the original citation and that in Danser (1928) and laterpublications is given, since Danser's (1928) work provides a thorough and accurate reference to all earlier literature. 74 species are recognised in the region, and three naturally occurring hybrids are also covered for the Flora account. The hybrids N. x hookeriana Lindl. and N. x tri- chocarpa Miq. are found in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo, although rare within populations, their widespread distribution necessitates their inclusion in the and other and with the of Flora. -

246 Combined Proceedings International Plant Propagators’ Society, Volume 52, 2002 The Role of the Veitch Nursery of Exeter in 19th Century Plant Introductions 247 Among interesting perennials are the luxuriant Myosotidium hortensia, the Chatham Island forget-me-not; blue poppies such as Meconopsis betonicifolia, M. grandis and the hybrid ‘Lingholm’; and many members of the Iridaceae such as Dietes, Diplarrhena, Libertia, Orthrosanthus, and Watsonia. The very distinctive Arisaema do well here, as do an increasing number of plants in the Convallaria- ceae, including Disporum, Polygonatum, Smilacina, Tricyrtis, and Uvularia. PLANTING CONDITIONS The windy conditions discourage the planting of large specimens, though the shallow soil in some places makes this physically impossible, while the severe infes- tation of honey fungus, Armillaria sp., precludes the direct transplanting of woody plants, which eventually fall victim to the fungus. Lifted rhododendrons are potted into very wide, shallow containers for a year or two before being surface planted, a method which has become the rule without cultivated beds, by simply placing the rootball on the soil and mounding up with the chosen medium. This seems to encourage establishment and may slow the invading Armillaria. Where rhododen- drons are planted on mossy rocks or stumps, particular care has to be taken during dry periods as the lack of mains water or any distribution system makes watering practically impossible and establishment unlikely.

Wilson made two collecting trips to China for the Veitch nurseries of England and two trips for the Arnold Arboretum. These were followed by a slightly less arduous Richard A. Howard is Professor of Dendrology of the Arnold Arboretum staff. In 1978 he represented the Arnold Arboretum in the delegation of the Botanical Society of America that visited the People’s Republic of China. After a reciprocal visit by a delegation of Chinese botanists, plans were made for the current Sino-American expedition on which Dr. Stephen Spongberg represents the Arnold Arboretum. Hopefully, this group or a future one can revisit some of the areas in which E. H. Wilson collected. 102 Davidia involucrata, the dove tree, was the object of Wilson’s first trip to China. -
Wellingtonia Park, St Leonards
Wellingtonia Park, St Leonards. Welcome to the Wellingtonia Park site. Watch this space for information about the Park, for events, developments and notices. Fleming Way Fleming Way Wellingtonia Park There are over a hundred houses on the Wellingtonia Park estate that lies between Wonford Road, Barrack Road and the Gras Lawn estate. We are lucky to have beautiful old trees, good open spaces and a well-used children’s playground, owned by Exeter City Council. Also on the estate are houses owned by Spectrum Housing Association. Lister Close Watson Place A History of Wellingtonia Park Wellingtonia Park was named after the large Wellingtonia tree to the south of the development. The Wellingtonia The site has an interesting history. In 1830 the site was part of a parcel of land purchased by the Veitch family for the establishment of a plant nursery. The Veitch family were well known plant James Veitch hunters and nurserymen and many exotic 1752-1839 plants from around the world including species of Rhododendrons, Camellias and Magnolia were brought back to England. They also planted specimen trees in Devon and beyond, many of which have been preserved and are subject to Tree Preservation Orders including trees in Wellingtonia Park. At the centre of Wellingtonia Park is ‘The Grange’ a group of dwellings built around a Grade 2 listed building James Veitch had built. It was completed in 1837 and was originally called Gras Lawn. The Grange It is now split into flats and is part of Wellingtonia Grange within the Wellingtonia Park development. The name Gras Lawn is now given to the separate development to the south. -

A 24-year-old artist named Nellie Roberts¹ was hired for the post, and began work as from the meeting of 12 January 1897. Thereafter every orchid that was given an award by the Society’s Orchid Committee, whether species, cultivar, or hybrid, had its portrait painted, so that future generations of judges would have a record of what had been considered award-worthy in the past, as a basis for deciding whether orchids put forward for awards represented a true advance on their predecessors. -

Four years ago, it was estimated that 14.2 million people volunteered regularly and gave on average of 11.6 hours once a month. (The Community Life Survey 2015/16 commissioned by the Cabinet Office ) DGT would not exist without the support of its members and tireless efforts of its volunteers; of course, the more who are willing to be involved in however small a way, the less the burden that falls to the few. There are many different ways to help, perhaps learn and it is an excellent way to meet new friends. -

97 CHAPTER TEN AGRICULTURE Saxon methods of agriculture have been described earlier. It is doubtful if any great changes took place immediately after the Conquest. The Normans were rulers, not peasants, (1) and left the work on the land to their Saxon subjects. The great mass of the people of England lived on the land, working to pay their manorial dues and provide for their own needs. The competent became prosperous, and the incompetent became poverty-stricken. (2) Nothing seems to be known of the state of agriculture in Upton-cum-Chalvey in the period under the Priors of Merton, and not as much as could be wished between the Reformation and the beginning of the 19th century. None of the early topographical writers mention Upton-cum-Chalvey, although Leland (3) was certainly at Staines and at Maidenhead between 1534 and 1543, and some of his successors un- doubtedly passed along the main road to Bath. Returns made in 1517 show that enclosures had already taken place in Burnham and Stoke Poges. There is also mention of 'Upton', but it is not clear whether this was Upton-cum-Chalvey, or Upton-in-Dinton. (4) The Common Pound was at the end of Upton Lane, outside Upton Church. (5) James and Malcolm, (6) writing in 1794/6, say: 'Upton has 1,500 acres in common fields. It is reported that in common with neighbouring parishes, the soil is good, well-manured (manure from Eton), and crops abundant, no fallow, but crops every year; no turnips, as fields are common from harvest to seed-time.' (7) This, as Professor Gray points out 'exploded entirely the old hodge of two crops and a fallow' on open lands.' (8) A reference by Pastor Moritz shows that the common idea that England was without hedges in the days of open fields was not entirely true, and that in this area, at least, hedges were already common in 1782.
