Nepenthes ovata has been a great addition to my collection. It has a nice striped peristome with red, tubby pitchers. In Clarke's book "Nepenthes of Sumatra" he has photos of two distinct pitchers. Tubby lowers and cylindrical uppers. Also it is stated that N. ovata is related to N. bongso and possibly N. densiflora. My plant does have a somewhat toothy peristome similar to N. densiflora and N. diatas.  It is a moderate grower with little to no problems that I recall. Another one of those Nepenthes that I notice has a great pitcher on it when I'm tending to my other ones. It has recently entered the vining stage and put out a basal shoot. I have a variety from the Nepenthes Nursery as well that is awaiting a pitcher to form so that I can photograph that as well. This is another one of my favorite species in my collection.
