Pinguicula ibarrae

A Mexican butterwort described by Zamudio in 2004 from the humid Gulf slope of Hidalgo and Veracruz, around 1100-1300 m. The measured site is warm with summer rains and a mild, fairly dry winter. Treat it like other Mexican rock-dwelling butterworts: bright filtered light, gritty mix, and a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Probably moist rock faces or banks in oak and cloud forest on the Gulf slope. Habitat detail was not available; this is inferred from the region.

Records span 1100-1314 m.
