Has anyone heard about this population of giant truncata, possibly bigger than N. Rajah?

N. rajah hold official record of largest pitchers by volume (3.5 litre), with size 41 cm tall (not sure with the width but obviously much wider than truncata pitchers).

While n. truncata generally produces narrow but taller pitchers (except squat variant, wider but short). From personal experience, normal N. truncata pitchers at 45 cm tall are close to 2 litre of water. There's rumours about truncata at wild with 60-70 cm tall pitcher (saw on FB years ago) but not sure about its volume.

Pitchers with similar shape to rajah (large ovoid pitchers) that I've heard are large merrilliana with +3 litre volume and sumatrana giant pitchers.
