It is still an immature plant so they are not intermediate. If anything they are still working on forming mature lower pitchers.
I have my doubts it is N. ventricosa as well. The last link showing the leaves indicate to me it is not pure N. ventricosa. The leaves are much wider at the tip than the base. Time will tell...
many of the ventricosa out arent true ventricosa anyway.
Tony is right it is an immature plant
those are not intermediate pitchers
Ventricosa is one of those plants that has the tendril placement all over the place. alot of the times at the rear of the pitcher even for lower pitchers.
Sanguinea also has weird tendril placement, more at the side of the pitcher which is missleading.
generally intermediates are produced just as the plant begins to vine and you will see it when the internodes become larger.
Keep us posted as it grows up. Maybe it will turn out to be N. ventricosa red which do tend to look different than the other forms. Maybe it will turn out to be some sort of N. ventrata?
Thanks for the picture Mr.flytrap2 ;> It clearly shows the strap like nature of N. ventricosa, including the red forms.
Maybe Petmantis can get the photo of the plant in question showing the leaves posted again? I think it would be easier to see the difference in the two with a side by side comparison.
