Pinguicula jauvamensis x cyclosecta

Description

Pinguicula, a.k.a. Butterwort, is a genus of carnivorous plant that is divided into temperate species and tropical (often referred to as Mexican Butterworts) species.  Temperate species endure cold winters by producing a dormant bud (hibernacula) during winter.  Tropical species endure dry winters by producing a “succulent like” non-carnivorous leaf.  However, some tropical species and hybrids will grow carnivorous leaves year round if they are kept warm and wet.

Pinguicula jauvamensis x cyclosecta is an attractive new hybrid.  P. jauvamensis is synonymous with P. esseriana, representing a clone collected near the town of Jaumave, Tamaulipas, Mexico.  Your plant will be shipped bare root (unpotted), wrapped in moss.  You can purchase a pot and soil to be shipped with your plant here.
