Yes. There is a picture and description of the pitcher of this
species from cultivation (at Glasnevin, Veitch nurseries, Williams,
Holloway) by W.G.Smith in Gard.Chron.2.ser.17:398-399 (1882) under
the name "N. hirsuta var. glabrescens", which is a synonym of _N.
distillatoria_.

Perhaps that would not do any harm. We do not have an illustration
for this species on the WEB page yet.

Kind regards
Jan
