Hi guys,
From the photo it looks like a N.sanguinea as what Choong has said.
On the other hand if you would like to do some further study on the plant, you can do it yourself.Maybe it is a hybrid between N.sanguinea and N.macfarlanei - the hybrid will show some white hair underside the lid - a characterictis of N.macfarlanei.
For information, the 3 species N.sanguinea, N.ramispina and N.macfarlanei flowers throughout the year and cross pollination can easily took place. Sometimes you need to compare it to the real species in their natural habitat to determine whether it is a hybrid or not.
The problem will be 1) to go to the site 2) If we go to the site where the specimen was collected we might not be able also to determine which plant is a natural species or a hybrids. At this stage I think if there is no white hair underneath the lid, just consider it as N.sanguinea.
From my experience, the N.sanguinea require bright light. If they do not received enough sunlight the leaf blade will become smaller and smaller and eventually the plant will die.

Hi bifurcatum,
Put it where it can receive the brightest light under shade - you will have to hang it and the plant should not be on the ground. Do not put the plant under direct sunlight as the leaf blade will be burnt. N.sanguinea is an intermediate/highland species. The above recommendation is base on my experience with the species.
