Dear Jeurg, Jan and other Pinguicula growers,

Whilst in Iceland I saw a copy of the book "Flora of Iceland" by A.
Love, published in 1983, by Almenn Bokafelagid, in Reykjavik. In it was
the gem of information about Pinguicula alpina, complete with a line
drawing. This species has been recorded only three times, between 1785
and 1932, in western and northwestern parts of the island. It is thus
very rare; which may in part be due to an incredibly short growing
period at this northern lattitude. It would be interesting to know if
this population differs from that in Scotland and Norway.

Cheers,

Robert
