Still looks like rubra rubra to me.

I had some free time so took a minute with schnells book and although I think the colouring is right for gulfensis, the shape and size is right for rubra, and colour is variable, plus that is fall colour. so my final thought is that it's rubra ssp rubra aswell.
Thanks,
Sib

Syble, you could be right on this one. All of my gulfensis specimens look a bit more robust than this form, although when I think about it, rubra rubra's hood comes straight up from the mouth in a more linear fashion where the gulfensis flares out a bit as in the pics above.

I would like to put it as a gulfensis, but the hood is the thing thats wrong as far as I can tell...well that plus the size. I'm going off of schnells book, but gulfensis has a bigger, more developed (I doubt that conveys what I want it to) lid, that comes off more angled and flat. where as rubras lid comes at more of a plain edged and often curved like a bowl. I hope this comes accross better then it looks like it might be.. :/ I'm not quite sure how to explain itreally, do you have Carnivorous Plants of the Untied States and Canada?
Thanks,
Sib

No I don't but a couple of things to keep in mind here. First I would have to classify it as a stressed plant, while it overwinters in Bancroft and appears to be spreading it has never flowered. Winter damage may keep it appearing immature. Also the photo used a forward flash but looking at the pitcher close up with backlight there are 2 darker red elongated oval like "eyes" under the hood.

Thanks Curlingguy for the edit! Now if only I could delete the bad posts..

[jay]

could be a rubra alata cross , i have one similar to that plant

[tom]

I've done it for you Brian, but you should be able too:

-Look at the right upper corner of every of your posts;
-You should see 3 buttons: reply - modify - delete (I think)
-By hitting Modify, you can edit your post (ie add/delete text, links, pictures)
-And if delete is there... well... the word says it all!

I originally got it from Purpman and I wish I had been taking notes in those days. He told me my plants were s. (i forget) ssp (i forget) from (i forget) and all I was thinking was that looks cool I'd like to try it. I'm soo embarrassed.

[jay]

That really narrows it down Is it kinda fuzzy or smooth ? did it stay red all summer or just turn now? How many inches tall is it ? I have that plant then .... I can give you your info

[brian]

It is about 6 1/2 inches tall and had nice scarlet red sections in September, and is now browning with the cold weather. No fuzziness noted.
Thankyou Tom for the editing info.

I believe i have a piece of that plant , sib and rick were right it's rubra rubra I almost thought it was gulfensis but the ala is to wide from what i can see in your photos and it matches up perfectly with a rubra rubra i got from mazur.. hope this helps
