A skeletal revision of Nepenthes (Nepenthaceae)

The issue of Blumea in which Jebb and Cheek's monograph was published

"A skeletal revision of Nepenthes (Nepenthaceae)" is a monograph by Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek on the tropical pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes. It was published in the May 1997 issue of the botanical journal Blumea.[1] The work represented the first revision of the entire genus since John Muirhead Macfarlane's 1908 monograph.[2] Jebb and Cheek's revision was based on "collaborative work by both authors since 1984, largely on herbarium specimens, but including fieldwork in New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Madagascar".[3] It was a precursor to their more exhaustive 2001 monograph, "Nepenthaceae".[4]
