Pinguicula zamudioana

A Mexican butterwort described in 2018 and named for the Pinguicula specialist Sergio Zamudio. No wild occurrence records are public and little was available to us beyond the name, so this profile is built from the one measured site (about 2360 m) and the typical cycle of Mexican highland butterworts: a wet-season carnivorous rosette and a dry-season resting rosette.
