. As far as leaf size goes, it would be my N. rafflesiana Sarawk giant. It's about 3 feet in diameter, and has 8" + pitchers. As far as pitcher size goes, it would be my N. truncata. It is 13-14" in diameter, and has 11" + pitchers.
 
The largest at the moment is N. bicalcarata which is reaching 3 feet in diameter with softball sized pitchers (about 5 to 6" high) and the N. Judith Finn is second with 12" in size with 5" pitchers
 
the tallest one i have right now is a N.maxima at 4' high 2' dia. 4" pitchers

the biggest pitcher would be the N.truncata 10" tall

widest plant in dia. would be N.velvet 3'6" w/ pitcher 8" tall
