Paper redefines nepenthes taxonomy

[Peatmoss]

Hello everyone,

An incredible paper has been published by a collective of botanists that completely redefines nepenthes taxonomy. Not only are a few new species groups named in this paper, but many of the previously defined species have been reclassified as hybrids.

An interesting paper, and certainly worth fetching the label maker!

I disagree with the statement in the second paragraph, I find it to be shallow and pedantic.
