definitely not a straight spectabilis.. Thez is right about the heart shaped opening, specs don't have that. I'm not good enough to tell you what it is, but at least I can tell you what it's not.
definitely not a straight spectabilis and definitely not a straight sanguinea, the leaftips follow along the tendril on that plant and sanguinea has a peltate leaf tip.
One of the older dead pitcher resembles N.alata and the other looks like this one but without the "point" on the peristome and with much more red color. The plant itself also reminds me of alata.....My best guess is maybe alata x Maxima, maybe someone's homegrown attempt at hybridizing.
This plant has been under alot of stress for two years; it was either not getting enough light, then it got waaaaaay too hot one summer, then some other thing pops up.... I figgered I could do better and find it a better home.
I never did get good pitchers off of it, so I was never able to identify it properly. I spent some pretty pennies on it, and it was "guaranteed" to be that species. Then again, this WAS eBay.
