Has anyone flowered the species Pinguicula heterophylla or seen it in flower?
There are two different types (note: I'm avoiding use of separate taxa such
as "form" or "variety" as there's no such distinction currently). The most
commonly available plants have long narrow sinuous leaves that do not produce
plantlets at their ends. The rarer type has identical leaves but they do
produce plantlets on the leaf ends. There is also a type circulating with an
attached Source Location name but it's not clear if this is the same as
either of the two types described above or if it is different (I do not mean
that it has to be physically different in any way - just that it may be
sourced from a separate location to the other known plants or it may have
some distinguishing characteristics). Any report on P. heterophylla from
specified locations would be most welcome (for example, who was it that
imported such a plant - WITH a named source location - into cultivation?).
If anyone has actually seen the flowers I'd appreciate a description,
especially (but not exclusively) describing the colour and ideally explaining
which of the two plant types the flowers were growing on if this is known.
Please - do not send me a description of flowers you have not personally
seen. I already have the relevant literature.
Regards
Paul
