Phil,
Fro your description it becomes perfectly clear you have _Nepenthes_.
Sadly, colour or even wing descriptions are not sufficient to give us at
least a slightest idea of what species you actually have. Try to become
more descriptive concerning pitcher shape, leaf shape and venation
(do the longitudinal nerves diverge all from the base of the leaf, or
do the innermost ones follow the midrib for some part of the blade, so
they diverge in the lamina?).
But be prepared even when you give a complete description of the vege-
tative parts, it is sometimes impossible to say which species (or even
hybrid) you have. An inflorescence can help very much, but if you have
a hybrid, I fear even specialists are lost.
Kind regards
Jan
