N. eymae is closely related to N. maxima. The only consistent difference between the two is in the shape of the upper pitchers, wine glass-shaped in N. eymae and obconic in N. maxima. In cultivation, a long series of intermediate pitchers might appear on your N. eymae before the typical wine glass-shaped ones show up. The lower pitchers are often (not always!) ovate in N. eymae. In the wild, where the two species grow close (for example, on Mt Lumut), some introgression may happen. Don't expect your N. eymae to be the perfect example of the most attractive specimen that might represent the species, unless it's a clone selected because of that.
