N. x kinabaluensis would be extremely difficult to obtain legally.
It is endemic to Kinabalu Park, and since it is a hybrid it
cannot be reliably grown from seed. Thus a plant that
looks like the ones on Mt. Kinabalu must be propagated
from cuttings. And to take cuttings from the National
Park is illegal.

The color of the pitcher and lid are more like rajah than
like villosa. The peristome is ribbed like villosa but
not as deeply, and it is flared slightly though not as much
as rajah. Very pretty plant.
