Pinguicula bustamanta

Pinguicula bustamanta Zamudio & Nevárez was described in 2020 (Phytoneuron 2020-28) from northeastern Mexico. There are no wild GBIF records; like other northeastern Mexican butterworts it is presumably a heterophyllous plant of shaded limestone rock, growing carnivorous leaves in the wet season and a compact winter rosette in the dry season.
