N.hispida
 

N.hispida the only pitcher plant that i hasn't personally seen in-situ. we were trekking to a spot that we went 2 years ago, since the trek was seldom use grasses and trees have overgrown making it hard to find the route, and we took a different direction, thinking that we will find the original trail at certain junction we move but and the forest get more dense, then we saw clumps of pitchers, a closer look and it was hispida, i think.
