Description
Distinct from the typical form of this species in that it produces pitchers that have a greatly expanded peristome that may be up to 3 cm wide. The peristome is normally of an equal width all of the way around the pitcher opening, but may be raised towards the inner edge of the pitcher opening and flattened towards the outer edge. The peristome is lined with ribs up to 3 mm tall, spaced up to 2 mm apart. The ribs of the peristome are often splayed upwards, projecting up from the peristome at various angles, on both lower and upper pitchers. Plants and pitchers are often very large.A
