Low stock: 7 left
Pinguicula heterophylla is a perennial heterophyllous butterwort native to Mexico, found in the mountainous regions of Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Michoacán. This fascinating species produces distinct seasonal growth: glandular carnivorous leaves during summer and a subterranean bulb during winter.
The name “heterophylla” comes from the Greek words heteros (different) and phyllon (leaf), a reflection of its unique seasonal adaptation. This particular form originates from Concepción Pápalo, Oaxaca, México, making it a special addition to any collection.
A rare and collectible carnivorous plant, Pinguicula heterophylla thrives in temperate conditions and offers both historical and botanical interest for enthusiasts.
