Anatomical evolution and systematics of the leaf characters in Nepenthes and natural hybrids collected in Peninsular Malaysia
Project summary:
This research aims to study the structural changes occur in the leaf, stem, and pollen (if any) in Nepenthes natural hybrids, as compared with true Nepenthes species in Peninsular Malaysia, with Peninsular Malaysia is home to accepted eleven (11) species and and also a number of natural hybrids that thrive in their natural habitats. Hybrids taxonomic position could sometimes be difficult to resolve; hence, this knowledge is useful as screening method for species and natural hybrids identification and documentation for Nepenthes in Peninsular Malaysia.
