Yes it is. There was a short article and photo by Alfred Lau
(the man who discovered it) in CPN a few years back. It is
the only Mexican Ping that I know of which has trapping
glands on both sides of the leaves.

The plant has some similarities to _P.agnata_ but I have not
had the opportunity to compare _P.gigantea_ flowers against
various _P.agnata_ clones. Neither have I read Hans Luhrs
paper.

Jan, do I interpret from this that you are not convinced
that _P.gigantea_ and _P.agnata_ are different? I would like
to hear your opinions on this plant and Luhrs description.
Kind regards
