Default Help needed to id 2 plants

Hi there
Plant 1
I've recently got a nep but the seller do not know what species it is. He told me it is an unknown species, yet to be identified (perhaps trying to sweet-talk me to buy rare species)... Anyway, if you can id it, would be great.



NOTE: Most pitchers are light green. This one is slightly coloured, after I feed it or perhaps due to the morning sun.

Plant 2
Also, I have another one that my wife bought for me 2 years back from Sarawak. Someone told me it is a highland species. Pitcher have been quite small for me for this one.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The second plant is a ventricosa red. The first appears to be miralbilis x raff, amp x raff, or something along those lines.

Actually, one of the many forms of N. ventrata going around, a very complex hybrid swarm. - Rich

I have a similar plant like that before too, and I got it as ventricosa hybrid, should think it is a N x ventrata but just a guess. Poor plant didnt suvive long in my garden (wiped out by the heat).

The first is xKuchingensis and the second will most probably be ventricosa.

Thanks for info guys. The second one, although having it for 2 years, pitcher size have never been big. I got it together with truncata which did better initially. However, I've just spotted a couple of new pitchers here and there, a bit bigger since before CNY repot. Will take pictures again once they grew.

First one is getting more pinkish. Will take more pictures later, perhaps with sizing info.
