Gripe on BOGUS labled plants

I recently recieved a plant labled as S. 'Daniel Rudd' in a trade. I was really excited about this because I have always wanted 'Daniel Rudd' since I first saw the photo of it in Slack's second book.

The plant recently put out a fully formed pitcher and I have to say that this is very obviously NOT 'Daniel Rudd'!

I do not blame the person who sent it to me as I am sure they did not know. Having discussed the plant with a few of the Sarr experts around the world I have learned that there is a nursery that is distributing this plant under the name 'Daniel Rudd' but that the plant just their attempt at remaking Slack's cross. I personally find this dishonest and I advocate that anyone with this plant mark it as BOGUS so that no one else will be duped like I was.
