Martin Roy Cheek is a botanist and taxonomist at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Research
With Matthew Jebb, Cheek revised the pitcher plant genus Nepenthes in two major monographs: a skeletal revision in 1997 and a more in-depth treatment of the Malesian species for Flora Malesiana in 2001. In these and other works, Cheek has described a number of species new to science, often in collaboration with Jebb. These include: N. abalata, N. abgracilis, N. alzapan, N. argentii, N. hurrelliana, N. kitanglad, N. murudensis, N. ramos, N. robcantleyi, N. samar, N. thai, and N. ultra. Cheek and Jebb also raised N. macrophylla to species rank. == References ==
