It was first published in 1996 by Natural History Publications (Borneo), in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Malaysian Nature Society.[1] An updated and much expanded second edition was published in 2008 as Pitcher Plants of Borneo, with Ch'ien Lee as co-author.[2] ContentThe taxonomy presented in the first edition is based on that of Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek's 1997 monograph, "A skeletal revision of Nepenthes (Nepenthaceae)", which was in preparation at the time of the book's publication.[1] The second edition mostly follows the taxonomy of Cheek and Jebb's 2001 monograph, "Nepenthaceae".[2] Both editions devote much space to the botanical and horticultural history of Nepenthes. In the first edition, the species accounts are predominantly illustrated with watercolour paintings by Susan M. Phillipps,[1] while in the updated work they are supplemented by numerous habitat photographs by Ch'ien Lee.[2] The first edition includes vernacular names for all species and natural hybrids;[1] these were dropped in the updated version.[2] The first edition covers 32 species, 7 natural hybrids, and one undescribed taxon ("Nepenthes sp.", which has since been described as N. hurrelliana).[3][4] The second edition includes 36 species, with the addition of N. chaniana, N. faizaliana, N. glandulifera, N. hispida, N. hurrelliana, N. platychila, and N. vogelii. Following the revisions made in "Nepenthaceae", a number of species included in the first edition are treated as synonyms in the 2008 book: N. borneensis as a synonym of N. boschiana and N. leptochila as a synonym of N. hirsuta.[2] Nepenthes maxima is also dropped from the species list, as it is now considered absent from Borneo, with all similar plants from the island actually representing N. fusca.[2] The 2008 book also synonymises N. zakriana with N. fusca and suggests that N. naquiyuddinii is a natural hybrid between N. fusca and N. reinwardtiana.[2] SpeciesThe following 33 species, including one undescribed taxon, are covered in the first edition. {{Div col|colwidth=18em}}

ReviewsTaxonomist Jan Schlauer reviewed Pitcher-Plants of Borneo in the June 1998 issue of the Carnivorous Plant Newsletter.[5] He considered the work "a disappointment to all who expected an up-to-date review reflecting the present knowledge about the Bornean species of Nepenthes".[5] However, Schlauer praised the watercolours, writing that most of them "give a quite accurate impression of the plants in the living condition (which must have been a particular challenge for the artist in those cases in which no living specimens were available, e.g. of the species from Kalimantan!)".[5] Schlauer concludes by writing: "The book is a nice addition to the collection of any Nepenthes amateur bibliophile but it cannot be recommended for scientific purposes."[5] Reviewing the book for the June 1996 issue of the Bulletin of the Australian Carnivorous Plant Society, Tim Burfield wrote: "The authors have endeavoured to present a book which would be equally useful to beginners, experienced growers and general CP lovers and to that end they have struck a very good balance."[6] Commenting on the retail price of $36, he opined that "the quality of the narrative, colour photographs and drawings make this cost justifiable".[6] References1. ^1 2 3 Phillipps, A. & A.
