Subject: Pinguicula ehlersiae alba?

          
          Dear List,
          
          some time ago I was sent some plants of P.ehlersiae alba
          which I was delighted with and looked forward to comparing
          this white flowered form against one of my old favourites -
          the typical form of this species. A few weeks ago I was
          excited by the presence of flower buds in the centre of the
          rosettes and placed the plants on my kitchen windowsill so I
          could follow their development.
          
          The first flowers have opened and are certainly not of
          P.ehlersiae, the plants are the quite lovely P.gracilis a
          white flowered species I have in abundance. What I would be
          interested in knowing is does a true white flowered form of
          P.ehlersiae exist or are all examples of this plant miss
          IDed P.gracilis.
          
          Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
          
          Kind regards
          
          Loyd
