After seaching and searching on the net, i finally found something, if i not mistaken, the long and thin maxima is actually a highland maxima, N. maxima Tlatawiran, as show at the below link

while the fatter maxima tentena from BE still a medium plant, but i found that the plant steam and leaf is really different from the x miranda, i have a miranda too, hope when the plant get matured will produce a pitcher like the photo at the below link

Please do correct me if i am wrong, thank you
Akira, I think you are right about it. The pitures of the N. maxima Tlatawiran comes from a reputable website. Perhaps I was mistaken. By the way does the main stem on your plant have reddish clour on it? I was told that if it has reddish colour on the main stem, that is a fusca hybrid.

Great research on your part.
