Shigeo Kurata
"Nepenthes inermis" × "N. talangensis" has been the subject of taxonomic confusion in the past. In a 1973 article on the "Nepenthes" of Borneo, Singapore, and Sumatra, Shigeo Kurata incorrectly identified specimens of this hybrid as belonging to "N. dubia". In 1997, Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek published their monograph "A skeletal revision of "Nepenthes" (Nepenthaceae)", in which they referred to "N. dubia" plant material from Mount Talang ("Kurata s.n." SING). Charles Clarke later identified "Kurata s.n." as representing "N. inermis" × "N. talangensis".
