Oh, now that is a whole different ball of wax! Yeah, it sounds like you
have a nicely sized plant. I suggest you go to the library and thumb
through some relevant books, like Slack's, that have plenty of
_Nepenthes_ photos. You might get an idea of what your plant might be.
If it is a hybrid, as it probably is, I doubt you will ever be certain
of its precise parentage.

Remember to trim the leaves to 1/3--1/2 length. You want to minimize
transpiration losses while the plant has such a small (zero) root
system.

Bob, I KEEP forgetting to call Steve Baker to get the dirt on CPN
publication dates....
