Please excuse my ignorance but I do not know if Hagak is a male or
female first name. "bakemondii" would be the correct epithet for a
plant named after a male person, "bakemondiae" for a plant named
after a female person (insertion of an "i" between "bakemond" and the
suffix "- i" or "- ae" is necessary in both cases).

Another possibility would be an adjectival epithet "bakemondiana".

Not for a taxon. If the hybrid was of horticultural value, it could
be given a cultivar name _Nepenthes_ 'Bakemond'.

See above.

Please consult CPN 27:27-28 (1998) on "The Correct Naming of
Carnivorous Plants".

Kind regards
