Joseph Clemens Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Anyone know which species this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 That's a nice question! The leaves don't fit the flower shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobZ Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 It might be what Fernando calls a P. orchidioides mimic, but which he believes is a form of P. moranensis. See his comment concerning this link http://home.sdirekt-net.de/mwelge5/web/Porchidioides3.jpg and Fernando's other comments in the Pinguicula Photo Finder under P. orchidioides http://www.humboldt.edu/~rrz7001/Pinguicula.html Does your plant have the onion-like bulbs shown http://www.pinguicula.org/A_world_of_Pingu...uarez09(HR).jpg http://www.pinguicula.org/A_world_of_Pingu...xtlan21(HR).jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP2k Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 It looks like the plant I have labeled as P.sp.Pico de Orizaba(moranensis-Pico de Orizaba). I might be able to tell you the exact identity if the source is known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP2k Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi Pinguiculaman, You mentioned that the plant was labeled as oblongiloba on the pft forums. I also have a plant labeled as oblongiloba from Dean, which is something else(form of moranensis). This plant closely resembles my moranensis from Pico de Orizaba. Here is a pic with oblongiloba(?) in the square pot and moranensis-Pico de Orizaba in the round pot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemens Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 The flower certainly conforms 100% to the botanical drawing and photos of Pinguiculs stolonifera. Perhaps the appearance of the vegetative plant parts and lack of stolons is simply due to my unorthodox culture techniques. I shall need to grow some under more natural conditions and dig some up when in winter leaf form to see if any other characteristics are extant.

CP2k Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 ...or perhaps it is something else besides stolonifera. The flowers in the pic posted are not exactly distinct from moranensis. Furthermore, according to Eric's website stolonifera is probably not in cultivation in the U.S. or Europe: http://www.pinguicula.org/pages/plantes/pi...stolonifera.htm The leaves also do not match the pic... Looks more like the moranensis-Pico de Orizaba: http://www.hiroichi33.matsue.shimane.jp/ca.../picodeoriz.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemens Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 CP2K, Dean Cook was the source for this plant as well. So it is most likely the same plant we have, whatever it is. Beautiful little plant -- guess it needs a cultivar name. I recently obtained the Pinguicula (Pico de Orizaba) from Dean as well and have not bloomed it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobZ Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 There was an earlier discussion about these plants at http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=40176 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemens Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Thanks BobZ, I can't believe I missed that thread. I also wish to interject that the flower is actually a dark purple and only 2 cm long x 1.5 cm wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I got my P. oblongiloba a year ago from Kamil. It produces a VERY small and tight winter rosette. I think CP2K has a plant of what Kamil called P. orchioides from me earlier, if I remember right. I'll plan on posting a pic of my P. oblongiloba tomorrow. Mine hasn't yet produced flowers.

CP2k Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Hi Tim, I do have a plant of orchioides that I received from you. I am guessing though that the plant is moranensis "orchioides" and not the orchioides/stolonifera sp. Nevertheless an interesting plant. Michael Thanks for the plant!

Tim Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Yes, I picked that up from a previous thread! As a gentleman, I know you have forgiven me, due to the circumstances. But if the P. oblongiloba I got from the same source turns out to be the Ping equivalent of D. spathulata, I'll be ticked off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mini man Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Thats like mine. Mines a P.oblongiloba its exactly the same as yours except mines not so dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Joseph, check out this picture http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=69655#69655 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Hi guys, The pics above look more like P.moranensis to me than P.oblongiloba. The latter forms a very tight winter bulb which looks like an onion. Both P.oblongiloba and P.orchidioides have petioles that are hairy along the edges too. Take Care, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
