The illustration of N. stenophylla from Danser's 1928 monograph, based on the type specimen of N. fallax[6]
Nepenthes fallax
There has been confusion surrounding N. stenophylla and N. fallax[note a] ever since the latter was first described. Nepenthes fallax matches N. stenophylla in most respects, except for the shape of the lid; the type specimen of N. fallax has an orbiculate lid, whereas that of N. stenophylla is narrow. However, the original description of N. stenophylla was based on a plant raised from seed in a greenhouse in England, and the narrow shape of the lid could be an aberrant characteristic resulting from artificial growing conditions.[6]
In his seminal monograph "The Nepenthaceae of the Netherlands Indies", B. H. Danser treated N. fallax as a heterotypic synonym of N. stenophylla.[9] This interpretation has been supported by most subsequent authors.[6][7][10][11] Jan Schlauer, however, considers the taxa as two separate species based on the shape of the lid.[6][12][13] He suspects the taxon originally named as N. stenophylla may have later been named again as N. faizaliana.[14]
