I have one but it is very small. From what I have seen of the traps
they are quite rotund. The hood is very small relative to the trap
and the peristome is rather smooth and not very pronounce.

I am relying on my impressions of some rather small pitchers (and my
erratic memory) so details may be wrong - I will have a look at the
plant and send corrections if need be....
