Bailey's original illustration of an N. rowaniae pitcher, published in 1897
Between 1881 and 1905, Frederick Manson Bailey described 11 species of Nepenthes from northern Australia,[4] all of which were placed in synonymy with N. mirabilis by B. H. Danser in 1928.[5] The only taxon which Danser considered to possess morphological characters atypical of N. mirabilis was N. rowaniae. He wrote:[5]
"Of all these I have seen the type or at least authentic specimens, but they are nearly all mere growth forms of N. mirabilis. Only N. rowanae shows a character not yet met with in N. mirabilis, viz. campanulate-infundibuliform upper pitchers. A similar aberration, however, is often met with in several allied species and is certainly insufficient for specific distinction."
However, field observations carried out between 2001 and 2003 "showed that N. rowanae possesses several stable, significant morphological and ecological characteristics that are not exhibited by N. mirabilis", and the taxon was subsequently elevated to a species in 2005.[2] This opinion is not universally shared; taxonomist Jan Schlauer continues to treat N. rowaniae as a heterotypic synonym of N. mirabilis in his Carnivorous Plant Database.[6]
Differences between N. mirabilis and N. rowaniae (Clarke & Kruger, 2005)
Character
N. mirabilis
N. rowaniae
Morphology of leaf blade
Acute to rounded
Contracted towards the apex, then continuing along the tendril as a narrow, acute, extension
Insertion of tendril to leaf blade
Simple
Peltate
Pitcher wings
Simple, bearing multicellular fringe elements
Often flattened at front, forming a T-shape in XS, multicellular fringe elements often present
Leaf blade texture
Usually chartaceous
Strongly coriaceous
Leaf blade attachment to stem
Simple, or rarely decurrent for ⅓ the length of the internode
Decurrent for at least ½ the length of the internode, usually more
Gland density in lower portion of pitcher
1600-2500 / cm²
Approximately 3600 / cm²
Position of pitcher hip in upper pitchers
Mid-way, to lower half
Upper quarter
Position of pitcher hip in lower pitchers
Lower third to quarter
Immediately beneath peristome
Spellingedit
According to the ICBN, the correct spelling of this taxon's name is Nepenthes rowaniae, as the epithet is based on the personal name Rowan.[7][8] 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).[9] However, the literature tends to use Nepenthes rowanae, instead.[2][10][11]
