Is this X Judith Finn?

Is this x Judith Finn? The pitcher looks like others I have seen on the WWW, but the leafy portion looks too wide and truncate. Is the id correct? The pitcher (without lid or tendril) is about 9 inches long and the leafy portion is 10 long by 4 inches wide.

Looks more like a straight N. spathulata to me.

There isn't any N. truncata or N. veitchii that I can see...

ps moving to the id forum
 
The leaf does have a look of veitchii/truncata. I am not home to look at my spathulata, but I don't remember the leaf being like that. The pitcher looks awfully immature compared to the size of the leaf to be a true spathulata.
Tony is more of an expert than I, though.

Regards,

Joe
 
Doesn't look like any N. x Judith Finn that I've ever seen, although I wouldn't know what it actually would be.

I bought the plant off eBay and then spent 2.5 years raising it. I already wrote the guy I bought it from, but the e-mail bounced saying the address is no good anymore. Oh well, it is a nice plant- just wish I knew the parentage. Guess I can toss the "Judith Finn" tag. I doubt that it is pure spathulata because I recall it only cost about $10.
 
If you got it off ebay then it is most likely one of the mass produced Judith finns from agristarts. They have a clone which is green with a dark peristome and looks pretty much like N. spathulata.

Next time try and give as much information as possible.. it really makes a big difference in trying to figure these puzzles out!
 
I have seen one of those that somebody posted a pic of(it had a black peristome). Would love one of those. I have seen some in local greenhouses, but they looke dpretty anemic and they wanted body parts for them.

Regards,

Joe
