| Pinguicula agnata | |
Pinguicula agnata is a tropical species of plant in the family Lentibulariaceae. [1] It is carnivorous.
The species' flowers are a blue-violet color. Its sticky leaves are lined with stiff bristles which capture unsuspecting prey upon contact, its large white to purple flowers bloom late in the spring, and its succulent leaves retain moisture during the dry season.
Pinguicula agnata is native to northeastern Mexico. Endemic to humid pine forests, this remarkable plant has adapted perfectly to take advantage of the ideal environment it needs for survival. [2]
