Loureiroi, on the PlantNet app it said it was Spatulata Labill, and some friends said it was Tokaiensis, now I'm not sure what it is exactly.I would listen to Nepenthes0260, who is a great source for sundew info.

I'm still undecided whether it's Tokaiensis or Spat Hong Kong/Macao. All have rounded lamina, normally the easiest way of telling Toks from Spats. I'm wondering if everyone who identified the plant as a Tok is aware of that. I'm leaning toward Spat Hong Kong because of two things: The grower said that if wasn't a true Loureiroi then it might be a Spat Hong Kong. He could just as easily said Tokaiensis but he didn't. And secondly, I don't (knowingly) grow any Toks that could have mixed into the seed source pot.
