it will definetly be subsp. venosa, as thats the only purp mass TC'ed. To tell them apart, subsp. venosa will have a slight pubescens to the pitchers and have a more ruffled hood. subsp. purpurea will be non-pubscent and have darker venation to it, may also have a longer pitcher shape to it.
Dunno, good question. My guess is because its easier to cultivate than subsp. purpurea, reason being is subsp. purpurea cannot tolerate really hot weather, whereas subsp. venosa can.
From what I can see, and I have the venosa and purpurea side by side, is that venosa is relatively as shorter, more squat plant. Also seems more colorful. And that fits a general natural rule of thumb. The warmer the climate, the smaller and more colorful the life is. The colder the climate, the larger and more dull the color.
