Pinguicula moaensis

A Cuban butterwort named after the Moa area of northeastern Cuba, a region of ultramafic (serpentine) mountains with some of the heaviest rainfall on the island. It has no georeferenced records, so its exact habitat and conditions are uncertain. Grow it warm, bright and humid, without a dry season.

Where it grows wild

The Moa massif is serpentine-derived rock and laterite, covered with pine woodland, scrub and rainforest. This profile assumes it grows on wet serpentine rock or soil in open to lightly shaded spots, as other eastern Cuban butterworts do.

Unknown. The Moa ranges run from near sea level to about 1,000 m.
