Hello,
Well this could be a (nother) controversial taxon. It has been published last December in Blumea. The plant once known as "Nepenthes rafflesiana var . elongata" - an informal horticultural name for a N. rafflesiana with slender upper pitchers- has now been elevated to specied rank. It must now be refered to as Nepenthes baramensis (named after the Baram river region in Borneo).
