This species produces two different types of leaves, winter bulb of succulent leaves during winter and glandular carnivorous leaves during summer. Pinguicula parvifolia is a mountain-dwelling species that experiences a cool, moist, temperate climate and was discovered in 1893. The epithet, parvifolia, is dericed from the Latin parvus (small) and folium (leaf).
