Explore the fascinating diversity of carnivorous tropical pitcher plants (Nepenthes) with Nepy, featuring new images along with additional facts and commentary!
Nepenthes are perhaps the most fascinating and specialised carnivorous plants on planet Earth.
Nepy is a Nepenthes field reference, containing fully illustrated entries for the majority of recognised species that include:
- two representative pitcher photographs for each species
- a description that includes guidance on pronunciation, species distribution, range, elevation and additional field notes
- a simple picture quiz to help you learn to identify them
- no in-app banners or ads
The Nepenthes entries are based primarily on data published in peer reviewed research papers, specialist literature relating to the genus, as well as on the general observations of a number of specialists. However, all entries are written in accessible English.
