Abstract

Two new species of Nepenthes (Nepenthaceae) from Southern Thailand, N. bracteosa sp. nov. and N. hirtella sp. nov. are described and illustrated. Descriptions of the species are given compared to their related species, N. krabiensis and N. kerrii, collected in Thailand. They are separated from N. krabiensis and N. kerrii by characteristics of leaf shape, pitcher shape, indumentum, and bracteole. Confirmation of these two new species was determined by phylogenetic relationships using the Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) technique.
