Pinguicula immaculata

A small heterophyllous Mexican butterwort from Nuevo Leon, described in 1992 and named for its unspotted flowers. Like its relatives in the Sierra Madre Oriental it makes carnivorous summer leaves and a tight non-carnivorous rosette through the dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Grows on rocky, calcareous slopes of the Sierra Madre Oriental in northeastern Mexico, as the neighbouring gypsophilous and limestone Pinguicula do; exact microhabitat was not reachable, so this follows the genus pattern in the region.

GBIF records span 113-2180 m with a median of 1378 m; the 113 m record is probably mislocated.
