Shigeo Kurata

Japanese botanist.

Shigeo Kurata (倉田 重夫, Kurata Shigeo) is a Japanese botanist and Nepenthes taxonomist whose work in the 1960s and 1970s contributed much to the current popularity of these plants. His best-known work is the 1976 guide Nepenthes of Mount Kinabalu. Nepenthes kurata was named in his honour. Kurata has described a number of new Nepenthes species, including N. campanulata, N. eymae, N. mindanaoensis, N. peltata, N. rhombicaulis, and N. saranganiensis. He also described N. pyriformis, which was subsequently recognised as a natural hybrid by Charles Clarke. Other natural hybrids named by Kurata inclu

Nepenthes campanulata (Bell-shaped Pitcher Plant) Sh.Kurata 1973
vulnerable plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes campanulata (; from Late Latin campānulātus "bell-shaped"), the bell-shaped pitcher-plant, is a tropical pitcher plant native to Borneo. It has also been reported from Palawan, the Philippines, though further field work is needed to confirm this identification. Forest fires destroyed the only known population of N. campanulata in 1983 and it was uncertain whether the species had survived elsewhere or was in fact extinct. It was rediscovered in 1997, several hundred kilometres from the type locality. Nepenthes campanulata is listed as Vulnerable on the 2014 IUCN Red List of
Nepenthes peltata (N. Peltata) Sh.Kurata 2008
plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes peltata is a tropical pitcher plant known only from the upper slopes of Mount Hamiguitan on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It is characterised by a peltate tendril attachment and conspicuous indumentum. The species typically produces ovoid pitchers with a prominent basal crest and large nectar glands on the lower surface of the lid. The specific epithet peltata is Latin for "peltate" and refers to the distinctive tendril insertion of this species.
Nepenthes eymae (Pitcher Plant) Sh.Kurata 1984
plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes eymae is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sulawesi in Indonesia, where it grows at elevations of 1,000–2,000 m (3,300–6,600 ft) above sea level. It is very closely related to N. maxima, from which it differs in its wine glass-shaped upper pitchers. The specific epithet eymae honours Pierre Joseph Eyma, a Dutch botanist who worked extensively in the Dutch East Indies and who originally discovered the species.
Nepenthes mindanaoensis (N. Mindanaoensis) Sh.Kurata 2001
plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes mindanaoensis (; "from Mindanao") is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Philippine islands of Mindanao and Dinagat. Nepenthes mindanaoensis belongs to the informal "N. alata group", which also includes N. alata, N. ceciliae, N. copelandii, N. extincta, N. graciliflora, N. hamiguitanensis, N. kitanglad, N. kurata, N. leyte, N. negros, N. ramos, N. saranganiensis, and N. ultra. These species are united by a number of morphological characters, including winged petioles, lids with basal ridges on the lower surface (often elaborated into appendages), and upper pitchers that are
Nepenthes saranganiensis (N. Saranganiensis) Sh.Kurata 2003
plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes saranganiensis (; "from Sarangani") is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Philippine island of Mindanao. It is noted for its extremely decurrent leaf attachment that extends a large distance down the stem, often continuing into the next internode. Nepenthes saranganiensis belongs to the informal "N. alata group", which also includes N. alata, N. ceciliae, N. copelandii, N. extincta, N. graciliflora, N. hamiguitanensis, N. kitanglad, N. kurata, N. leyte, N. mindanaoensis, N. negros, N. ramos, and N. ultra. These species are united by a number of morphological characters,
Nepenthes rhombicaulis (Pitcher Plant) Sh.Kurata 1973
vulnerable plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes rhombicaulis is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra. The specific epithet rhombicaulis is formed from the Latin words rhombicus, meaning "rhomboid", and caulis, "stem". It refers to the cross-sectional shape of the stem internodes.
Nepenthes × kinabaluensis Sh.Kurata 1984
plant hybrid species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes × kinabaluensis , or the Kinabalu pitcher-plant, is the natural hybrid between N. rajah and N. villosa. It was first collected near Kambarangoh on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo by Lilian Gibbs in 1910 and later mentioned by John Muirhead Macfarlane as "Nepenthes sp." in 1914. Although Macfarlane did not formally name the plant, he noted that "[a]ll available morphological details suggest that this is a hybrid between N. villosa and N. rajah". It was finally described in 1976 by Shigeo Kurata as N. × kinabaluensis. The name was first published in Nepenthes of Mount Kinabalu, but was a nomen
Nepenthes × pyriformis Sh.Kurata 2001
plant hybrid species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes × pyriformis (; from Latin for "pear-shaped") is a natural hybrid involving N. inermis and N. talangensis. It is known only from Mount Talang in Sumatra, to which N. talangensis is endemic. Nepenthes talangensis was only described as a distinct species in 1994. Prior to this it was placed within N. bongso and some of the older literature identifies this hybrid as N. bongso × N. inermis. Nepenthes inermis × N. talangensis has been the subject of taxonomic confusion in the past. In an article published in 1973 on the Nepenthes of Borneo, Singapore, and Sumatra, botanist Shigeo Kurata
Nepenthes × kuchingensis Sh.Kurata 1982
plant hybrid species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes × kuchingensis ( nih-PEN-theez KOO-ching-EN-siss) is a natural hybrid between N. ampullaria and N. mirabilis. Although it is named after the city of Kuching in Sarawak, this plant has a wide distribution across Borneo, New Guinea, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Thailand.
