Open thread for the discussion of all aspects of our hobby. Conversations are moderated. Please keep it civil!

Help identify this Nepenthes hybrid

Can anyone identify this Nepenthes hybrid? The vines are spindly and pitcher/make offsets very prolifically. The pitchers are dainty and grow to about 15cm long. The plant has been tentatively identified as N. tobaica x thorelii; a consensus would be welcome.
