At our recent CP gathering in Denver, several people brought their "Home
Depot hybrids" and it was instantly obvious that they are not all the
same. One plant looked very similar to N. maxima, another had rather
squat pitchers with a narrow peristome and dark red splotches, while a
third one had had tall pitchers with a narrow peristome that were reddish
tinged on the upper half and green on the lower half.

I think N. gracilis fits this description well.
