It's N. albomarginata. The white 'collar' around the rim is the give away.

Adam said it :smile: but it could also possibly be a hybrid between them (though most likely pure albo). Any close ups of the pitchers? A very nice looking specimen.

Yes, looks like Albo.

Here's my seed grown Albo, grown in 2009, now more than 2 years old.

As you can see, the plant is quite high up from road surface. Will try to get a zoomed in pic next walk.

This larger pic may help?

Most experienced Penang CP grower know where can see this in Penang but I think the population is getting less due to aggressive development and human interuptions including poaching & harvesting. :laugh:

Definitely albomarginata. Other species in Penang like mirabilis, gracilis, ampullaria occur in such small stands that the probability of a hybrid cross is very low. albo x ampullaria has the typical hookeriana like lid, albo x mirabilis has the flattened peristome like mirabilis. The uppers are strongly infundibulate, plus I cannot see any petiole wing down the side of the stem at the leaf-stem junction, thus ruling out albo x gracilis.
