The first two look like either N. Maxima or a hybrid with N. Maxima. The third one has me a bit confused. Normal ventricosa pitchers have a much wider peristome and are completely lacking wings. Hmmm..... Time for some research.
I had that thought as well, Schloaty. But not being that knowledgeable about neps, I didn't mention it. Also thought the spotting looked raff-like. That got me to wondering what a truncata x raff hybrid WOULD look like. I guess that must exist somewhere?
Plantakiss,
It really would be cool, huh? The only thing that makes me tentative about my guess it that the leaves (from what little I can see in the picture) don't seem to have even a hint of the very identifiable heart-shape associated with a truncata.
Forgot Rampuppy te tird one isn'a ventrata. Looking at the pitcher size of that plant a x ventrata pitcher would have red spots the perstom wouldn't be thin (not so round). hmmmm
You're right Schloaty...I know there are truncata hybrids but I don't remember what the leaves looked like. Maybe the leaf shape would come from the raff parent? I'm not saying that's what Rajah's plant is...I'm just wondering what a truncata x raff would look like. There are so many hybrids out there, surely there is a trunc x raff. Will have to check around and see.
First looks like a classic N. x mixta to me.
The second looks like a N. stenophylla x veitchii or N. maxima x vetchii. Its hard to tell without more information from the leaves, the underside of the lid etc.
