N. × lowii × ventricosa upper pitcher
This hybrid is especially interesting because of its lowii heritage.  Pitcher lids feature some of the well-known lowii hair-like structures, and upper pitchers show the wide mouth and narrow peristome reminiscent of lowii uppers.  This hybrid is very easy, and a fairly rapid grower.
