Description
Pinguicula conzattii is a perennial heterophyllous species that produces distinct summer and winter leaves. In the winter, it produces a rosette of about 0.39-0.79" in diameter with about 70-100 succulent leaves clothed with glandular hair. The summer rosette consists of about 4-6 carnivorous leaves that are densely clothed with sessile and stalked glands. Pinguicula conzattii was discovered by Alfred Lau when he explored Sierra Madre del Sur, in Oaxaca, Mex, but it was named in honor of Don Cassiano Conzattii (1862-1951), who was a Mexican botanist that studied the flora of Oaxaca for 50 years.
