After this last round of renaming, reclassifying and splitting up species (the Sarracenia splitters? OMG) I see that Wistuba has renamed some things to align with new taxonomy classifications (have I said this correctly?). Looking at Wistuba's New Guinean plants, I see that there still exists a 'sp Doorman's top #2' which is supposedly N. Papuana maybe and yet there's also a N.monticola which looks suprisingly the same. I.e. brownish non-descript pitchers as far as I can tell.
I'm no taxonomist so I was wondering something like why is it that sp.Doorman's Top #2 still has no name and maybe what exactly delineates the difference between N.monticola and N.sp Doorman's Top #2. Could the real N.papuana please stand up?
Here's Sockhom's blog that has some of these new plants/reclassifications from a little while ago:

Here's a picture of a puny pitcher on my N.sp.Doorman's Top #2 which has failed to thrive under my care over the course of 2-3 years. It has some strange environmental specifications that I can't figure out:
