Are any of those (or cuttings of them) up for trade? You have absolutely beautiful plants! N. rajah #1, N. aristolochioides, N. jacquelineae, N. veitchii x lowii, N. lowii G. mulu, N. villosa, N. macrophylla... amazing!
I am still convinced that is N. trusmadiensis. You can compare the hybrid with N. macrophylla in the picture thread Nep. G posted recently. Don't let the color of the N. trusmadiensis photo he posted throw you off though as it was recently opened.
Is the N. clipeata one of Wistuba's plants or is it the Clip-1 clone?

Hi Jeremiah, wonderful plants as always. The N. rajah is really putting on some size now!
Tony and I are right behind you in that respect!
As for the N. macrophylla you have there, it appears to have the lowii "look" to it, most notibly how the peristome teeth end in fine points in the mouth of the pitcher, rather than shorter nubby knobs like on N. macrophylla.
BTW, the clip #1 clone is indeed N. clipeata x (clipeata x eymae)
Color of the peristome, color of the pitcher, spacing and size of the ridges, width of the peristome, angle of the peristome, shape of the pitcher opening, length and shape of the teeth around the peristome.
Personally I would be overjoyed if it does indeed turn out N. trusmadiensis!
Tony
I usually don't say too much unless I am reasonably sure. (Which is why I asked about the N. clipeata since I could tell something wasn't quite right but that was about it).
Generally speaking it is easier to tell something isn't a species when it is a hybrid of some sort. If your not convinced that's ok.. give it a couple years. It will get larger but it will not really change much in shape. Unless it starts producing upper pitchers they you will know without a doubt! You can compare to a larger N. trusmandiensis in the thread Joachim started recently on his plant. BobZ probably has lots of other links too for N. macrophylla and N. trusmadiensis. I think you got a real gem there.. not very often a N. trusmadiensis pops up from N. macrophylla or N. lowii seed.
