Don,
Do you know if it is a hybrid or species? Is it from seed, or is it a plant you've lost the ID tag for, or ??
It resembles my seed-grown N. bongso.

Thanks for the input guys.
morbus - I should have mentioned at the beginning that it was a species (or at least I bought it as such).
Paul - It's supposed to be a carunculata var. robusta so it makes sense that it looks similar to your bongso. The reason why I questioned it is because this plant has narrow leaves while robusta is supposed to have broad leaves. The peristome also looks narrower but this may be due to age.
Luca - It does look a bit like my young lingulata.

Don, I will see if I can get you a photo of my 2.5 year old bongso seedlings.
Nepenthesis
Formerly known as Pineapple
100% sure it is singalana.
Based on what evidence?!
Nepenthesis

The exact resemblance to mine. (EDIT: Not by color, but by pitcher shape and the fact that I've seen tons of singalana just like that)
The inside of the pitcher, the teeth, the leaves/tendrils/growth tip.
I saw the same as pinapple
but, the peristome on singalana is wider and...longer
so, I thought diatas
the leaves are spot on for a rosette singalana
Nothing like my bongso
the leaves are actually not very common - stiff and pointy
cant speak for all bongso, but I dont think they have those ribs...?

Don,
here are current photos of a few of my seed-grown plants of N. bongso (I'm not suggesting that is what your plant is, but I wanted to provide a frame of reference for comparison, since carunculata robusta and bongso are closely related):

Thanks for the pics, Paul and Charlie. The more pictures I look at, the more confused I get. Lol
charlie - Your pic looks like the N. alba that CZ sells in both leaves and pitchers.
Mine looks like a combination of Paul's last 2 pics with a slightly thinner peristome and yours.
singalana? diatas? bongso? gracillima? alba?
