Notes

2. Danser in included Peninsular Malaysia in the range of what he treated as N. alata (which also included N. eustachya) on the basis of a single misidentified specimen of N. gracillima (Ridley 16097) from Mt Tahan (). 1 Danser in united N. eustachya with N. alata Blanco of the Philippines. The two species differ most conspicuously in the presence of a lid appendage in N. alata. Other differences are described under N. alata (see there).
