    A new species of Nepenthes has just discovered recently in Peninsular Malaysia. It looks very close to Nepenthes gracilis. It is called Nepenthes sharifah-hapsahii (after the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dato' Dr. Sharifah Hapsah Syed Hasan Shahabudin).

    News from "The Star" (May 11, 2007):

    "Malaysia makes its mark again in the botany world with the discovery of a new species of a carnivorous pitcher plant.

    The Nepenthes naquiyuddinii (Adam & Hafiza) was found by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia associate professor Dr Jumaat Adam in the highlands of the Keningau district in Sabah."
