Looks sticky..
The pitcher coloring reminds me of maxima kind of. Love the peristome..

Fusca!

I have mixed feelings about what I think of this species,

but regardless, that is a terrific example of a fusca. It's got great olive color green

The reason it reminds you of maxima, is because its in that same group, very very closely related...and yes, it is quite sticky, the tendril had several drops of nectar all around it until it had to move the pitcher out to get a photo of it since it was being bear-hugged by a N. ventricosa 'Denver' and a N. x'Splendiana' with a little awkward groping from a jacquelineae :p
