Anyone have information about this hybrid. I know it's a cross between N. Maxima x Northiana. Any information about this hybrid would be appreciated.

just when i started to hate savage garden its starts helping , heres some info in the book :

theis cross betwee n. northiana and n. maxima produces huge pitchers up to a foot long . the pale green traps are heavily streaked with red , and the large, slanted mouth has a wide , lucious peristome that glistens bright red . upper pitchers are equallyimpressive but more funnel shaped , like giant cornucopias . produced by tivey in 1893 . a more richlycolored form is called n. x mixta var. sanguinea . another is n. x mixta var superba .

I am growing a rooted cutting of N. x Mixta Superba as a lowland right now. I will most likely grow it as an intermediate in the near future.
