Hey can someone ID this nepenthes
It doesn’t look like my ventrata
Could it be a ventrata x alata ?

It looks like your ventrata has produced a basal shoot. Small pitchers are generally hard to identify but I’d bet that once the shoot grows larger the pitchers will be the same as the others. Unless the plant has bloomed and there was an alata around in bloom, there would be no way for a hybrid to happen.

Thought about that. However on all my other plants the young pitchers don’t have that hairy wings

Basal shoots start out with new pitchers that resemble juvenile pitchers, with ala.
