Its identity was being questioned since it was published. Some said it is a variety of the Nepenthes truncata and some said it is a complex hybrid raised by the mother nature. Some even questioned about whether those variable plants sold by BE were made by the real QoH and KoB or just plants made by sibbling crosses of other usual parentage.
I am not a taxonomist and I have no say about its ID. What I wanna know is that Nepenthes robcandleyi is a nice highlander with intense color, flare peristome and huge pitchers when well grown.
It is a real highlander but can still accommodate to artificial environment with some cooling equipment.
The next one is Nepenthes veitchii x burbidgeae made by EP
This is famous of its striped peristome from both of the parents. Fortunately it can bear the big burbidgeae pitcher together with a flare peristome inherited by the Nepenthes veitchii. This is still a small plant which didn't show half of its potential. Long way to go for me ~
