My new Nepenthes - ID Needed!

[Steverd]

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?

Thanks,
Steverd

N x ventrata

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.

 

[Dexenthes]

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?

Best guess says Dexenthes was joking. :grin:

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.

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?
