Hi Nicholas,
This one is probably Nepenthes ventricosa or a ventricosa hybrid. The waxy appearance is classic for them, but like the others, it's a best guess. We sold many of the TLC plants as such since we didn't know what all them them were (lost tags etc...). It was way for folks to get some possible great plants at a low price, but at the cost of maybe not knowing what they were. Nepenthes tend to be way more difficult to ID if they are hybrids than Sarracenia since many look so similar, and there are way more species.
Good Growing!
