My new Nepenthes - ID Needed!

I just picked up a new Nepenthes today but the tag did not have the species.
It kind of looks like Alata, but I'm no Nepenthes expert.
What do you think?

Looks like × ventrata to me. Quite common in garden centres here in the UK and often mislabelled as alata. Nice, healthy looking plants you have there.
 
Probably N. x ventrata.
 
I'm going to go ahead and say that it looks more like N. klossii to me.

In fact I'm 99% sure.
 
Definitely not N. klossii. Steverd, where did you get the plant?

That's fine, but it's not really appropriate in an ID thread.

You know...

Three people ID'd one of the most common Nepenthes in the world already before I suggested that it was one of the rarest.

I'm sorry for being inappropriate. :lol:

Congrats on the new plant :)

Be prepared for that thing to grow like a WEED!

I got it from a friends local orchid store here in Spokane, WA.
Paid $40 for it. I was pretty happy since all of my other Nepenthes are about 6-8 inches right now.
$40 us, seemed like a good deal, what do you think?
