Hi, I am currently abroad in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia, and yesterday I found some Nepenthes on a hike in the suburbs. I am having trouble uploading the photo, but it was a relatively small, bright green pitcher. At first glance, I thought it was N. mirabilis, but after looking into it, I now think it's N. gracilis. What made me lean towards N. gracilis is that it is very simple, but with more of a curve to the pitcher and no other markings. I also got to see the flower, which was mostly dark purple. What do you guys think?

N. mirabilis and gracilis are both widespread, very variable species; general pitcher characteristics are not going to be enough to give an opinion unless a picture is provided. What about the leaves? N. gracilis will have very long, parallel leaves with smooth edges; mirabilis has paper-thin, lanceolate leaves with serrated edges.
