Subject: N. glabrata "palo alto form"

Can anyone give me a quick run down on the "palo alto" form of Nepenthes
glabrata? What is known of its origins, and how does it differ from
typical N. glabrata (if at all)?

About a year and a half ago, I was given a beautiful plant labeled N.
glabrata X maxima. The appearence of the pitchers seems consistent with
that label, and it has become one of my favorite Nepenthes. The picture
of N. glabrata "palo alto form" in the CP database seems rather similar
to my plant, but the image is not high enough resolution to be sure. Is the
palo alto form likely to be a hybrid or is it the true species?

I would love to add N. glabrata to my collection, but it doesn't seem to
be offered by any of the sources of tissue-cultured Nepenthes.

cheers,
       Nick
