The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies
"Nepenthes pectinata" was described by B. H. Danser in his seminal 1928 monograph "The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies". Danser's description of "N. pectinata" was based on material that included upper pitchers of "N. singalana". This was first noted in 1994 by Jan Schlauer and Joachim Nerz, who provided a lectotype for "N. pectinata": "Bünnemeijer 700", a specimen collected on Mount Talakmau.
