My friend has had a nepenthes for years that's simply labeled "Red". It's clearly a maxima hybrid, but he doesn't know anything about its origins. Maxima x sanguinea wouldn't surprise me, but it would only be a guess.
Both the leaves and pitchers are quite red and the plant is extremely robust. It flowers constantly (female). It seems worth having in the hobby. But I don't like distributing plants without IDs.
In the CP Photo Finder I don't see any nepenthes named "Red". Would it be kosher if I just named this clone myself and let it loose into the hobby? Since it's not the reddest nepenthes that ever was I'd probably pick a different name. What do you guys do in a situation like this?
