Rick,
"Pinguicula alfredae" is an illegitimate nomen nudum originating from
our esteemed czech colleagues, and never validly published. Thus, until
now it isn't included in my list. After some lenghty discussion with
_Pinguicula_ growers, and own experience (I have it in vitro), it is
quite evident that this plant is in reality _P.heterophylla_ and thus
really not new to science. The plant is by no means difficult to
obtain. If you like one, I'll send you a small rosette. It propagates
(in vivo and in vitro) vegetatively, and pro- fusely so. If you could
give me the whole reference (publication name, page, year, author), I'll
include it in my synonym reference list. I did not know the RHS book
yet. TNX for info Kind regards Jan
