Nepenthes thorelii – a resolution

It is difficult not to be overwhelmed; whilst my friends and
colleagues fuss around a particular group of low growing plants, I am
stood aside, trying hard to breathe normally, to stay calm and to regain
my sense of perspective. In the vegetation around me I can see, amongst
the small shrubs and trees, more of these plants. For a few moments, I
wonder whether what I am seeing is real. We are in southern Vietnam, in
Lò Gò-Xa Mát National Park alongside the border with Cambodia, and
we have just rediscovered the long lost Nepenthes thorelii, a taxon unseen
by botanists since it was described 102 years ago, in 1909.
