Pinguicula hondurensis

A butterwort from the cloud forest of northern Honduras, described in 2019 and known from a single area at about 2150 m. The climate there is cool and very wet, with no dry season to speak of. Grow it like a highland cloud-forest butterwort: cool nights, high humidity with airflow, and a medium that never dries.
