What type of plant is this?

Question

weird Nepenthes Allexperts,

Was watching a television show and they were talking about Nepenthes. I was wondering what type of Nepenthes is the one in the picture with the weird pitcher structure? I have enclosed a pitcher of the plant that I'm talking about.

Sincerely,

Weylin

Answer
Hi Weylin,

It looks like either a certain form of, or a hybrid of Nepenthes rafflesiana. The giveaway is the big wings on the front. Not many other Nepenthes have that.

Good Growing!
