Looks very gracilis-like to me. Robt., I never had the chance to tell you how much I enjoyed the photos of the rafflesiana plants in the brackish water/sandy environment. That last pic looks like the pitcher was spray painted red-brown!
Thanks Trent for the kind words. It was a joy to see in person as well as photographing the details.It was a huge area that i still keep going back to look for more interesting finds.
I think the leaf attachement to the stem is not right for N. gracilis. From the picture I would also suspect this plant being a Nepenthes at all - it looks more like a Flagellaria.
It looks like some of the plants that grow in swamps in Mississippi that use their little tendrils to climb. I saw one this fall and thought, "Hey, those look like Nep tendrils!"

but 1 easy way to tell is from the leaf placement on the stem, it makes two neat rows on opposite sides of the stem on this plant, but in nep vine it would distribute more evenly around the stem.
And the stem is much softer than nep vines too
thanks for the ID anyway!
You're right, Joachim, never even thought of that. The leaf attachment to the stem is not really as decurrent as a gracilis, but who knowswhats out there. You're right, it's not even a Nepenthes.
