The upper pitchers are very different in form from the lower pitchers, and within the species itself, there is a great deal of variability in the size morphology and coloration of pitchers, even across individuals within the same colony of plants. It hybridizes regularly in habitat with nearby species, including N. gracilis, N. ampullaria, N. bicalcarata and various forms of N. mirabilis, to name but a few. In any colony of Nepenthes rafflesiana, it\u2019s common to find hybrids, unless it\u2019s very geographically isolated from other species. Therefore, it\u2019s unlikely that there is any such thing as \u201cpure\u201d Nepenthes rafflesiana, which may explain the wide range of variability observed in habitat.
