A friend of mine at Nottingham University has sent me the
abstract of a paper by Romo_A, Peris_JB, Stubing_G

The Genus Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) in Morocco
Annales Botanica Fennici, 1996, Vol.33, No.1, pp.22-32

Jan and Juerg have you seen this paper?

In the abstract it states that the genus Pinguicula is
represented in Morocco by two species P.lusitanica and
P.fontiqueriana Roma, Peris & Stubing sp. nov.!!!!!!!!
The abstract also states that reports of P.vulgaris and
P.corsica were based on misidentified specimens. A key to
all 4 species is provided in the full paper together with
line drawings of P.fontiqueriana.

Any comments anyone?

As I have not seen the full paper I can make no further
comments, though forgive me if I am wrong but hasn't
P.grandiflora also been reported from North Africa?
