Robert Rich's S o m n i u m album has been estimated it's the longest single piece of music ever committed to a commercially recorded format for over a period of time of 7 hours..
..it's said that record was broken by the release of the 24 hour long "7 Skies H3" by psychedelic rock group The Flaming Lips; however, it was not released commercially.

The name Nepenthes was first published in 1737 in Carolus Linnaeus's Hortus Cliffortianus. It references a passage in Homer's Odyssey, in which the potion "Nepenthes pharmakon" is given to Helen by an Egyptian queen. "Nepenthe" literally means "without grief" (ne = not, penthos = grief) and, in Greek mythology, is a drug that quells all sorrows with forgetfulness. Linnaeus explained:
If this is not Helen's Nepenthes, it certainly will be for all botanists. What botanist would not be filled with admiration if, after a long journey, he should find this wonderful plant. In his astonishment past ills would be forgotten when beholding this admirable work of the Creator!
The plant Linnaeus described was N. distillatoria, a species from Sri Lanka. (type species)
