Nepenthes rowanae F.M.Bailey (1897) |
Nepenthes rowanae (after Ellis Rowan, Australian naturalist and illustrator) is a species of pitcher plant endemic to Cape York, Australia. It is closely related to N. mirabilis and was once considered an extreme form of this species.
The correct spelling of this name is Nepenthes rowaniae as the epithet is based on the personal name Rowan. There is only one correct way to form this epithet (in the genitive: Rec 60C.1.b.) and the resulting correct spelling is mandatory: any usage of the spelling rowanae is to be corrected to rowaniae (Art 60.11). However, the literature tends to use Nepenthes rowanae, wrongly.
