Pinguicula scullyi

A natural hybrid between Pinguicula grandiflora and Pinguicula vulgaris, described from Ireland in 1922 and also found in France where both parents grow together. It grows in wet, open fens, flushes and seeps in the mountains. Like its parents it survives winter as a small resting bud and needs a real cold season.

Where it grows wild

Wet, open ground where both parents grow: mountain fens, spring-fed flushes and seeping banks. Most French records come from the Jura, the Alps and the southern Massif Central and Pyrenees, including one near a spring above a road.

French records are at about 1200–2400 m; recorded elevations are 1616–1957 m.
