Uwe is selling this for $23. There's a photo in CPN from about 3 years ago
showing this species. The characteristic feature seems to be its "mouth"
that is very steeply inclined and much longer than wide. The peristome
is wide and slightly toothed.

Jan, could you give a short description of N. tomoriana? Uwe is selling this
too but I couldn't find a photo or description anywhere. Just a short
sentence or two is sufficient (e.g. is it a small plant or large plant,
small/large pitchers, coloration, etc). Also, the latest CPN mentions
N. klossii - the "hooded Nepenthes". What does the "hood" refer to? I assume
it has some sort of uniquely formed lid.

Another species I'd like to have someday is N. hamatus. There's a photo
in one of the CPNs. The pitchers are spotted dark brown and has a
toothed peristome like N. villosa.
