This rare and small Mexican Pinguicula species is starting to color up well under the lights.



A few springtail/bloodworm feedings have helped it to put on some size in the last couple of months.



Looking forward to seeing how this one matures.

Thats a one nice little ping! First time hearing about this spec.

[Tuuagso]

Amazing!!
I hope mine gets like this, beautiful!

[Zagato]

Nice color!
Never see it before!

Looks like something from the ehlersiae-esseriana-jamauvensis complex. Please post flower pics if you have any.

P. from Minas des Asbestos is very similar to P. esseriana. The flower is pale violet to white with some violet stripes on the backside of the petals.
There is another related species P. sp. El Mirador that is quite similar and they only differ from the amount of the stripes on the backside of the petals.
I have to surch at home if I ever take a photo of these two plants.

Cheers,

Gneiss colour!

Nice Pinguicula, though I wouldn't want to spend long in the location 'Minas des Asbestos'

[Martin Hingst]

Very nice plant - and nicely taken pictures!

Luckily it doesn't need asbestos in its soil ;-)

Here are some flower photos to show the differences between P. M.d. Asbe and P. spec. El Mirador.
P. spec. El Mirador looks more like a P. esseriana and P. spec. M.d. Asbe looks like a P. jaumavensis.

P. M.d. Asbe




P. spec. El Mirador

Bonjour

these 2 : P. M.d. Asbe and P. spec. El Mirador. when we see your  picture  are very close  , may be some stripe more red on the spur   but it is not a discriminant  caracters, the sunlight  sometimes increase the colour caracters.


have you make on these 2 species some perenity and reproductibility test ?

it is a species from  esseriana-ehlersiae-jaumavensis complex .

for me  the jaumavensis and esseriana difference



at left esseriana at right jaumavensis


see others form  from this complex here link

thanks Fernando

Jeff, it's a bit too easy to declare the differences between P. esseriana and P. jaumavensis on the basis of two single clones....

I have several P. jaumavensis/esseriana/ehlersiae clones in culture to have more comparison.

The two plants shown in my photos not only differ in colour but also in shape and other habitual characters, e.g. the flower stalk of P. El Mirador is extremely long.

Bonjour

for quite some years this  is  their morphological difference

see also here
link  
and here
link

or the AIPC special issue 3  on the mexican pinguicula    and others web site ( yours also).

if you have several clone in cultivate  ,  .may be you show these one  to compare  with the type.

for me these 2  are different to esseriana or jaumavensis   I am OK.

"in shape and other habitual characters" can you tell us more .

for the scape( pedoncule, pedicel) some time it is not a discriminant ,many parameters can intervene on their length, can be seen very well ' in situ' .

Very nice looking plant... I really should grow more Mexican pings

[Rodrigo]

Beautiful Pinguicula , the shape of the rosette and its vivid coloring and something very unique in this species of carnivorous plant .

Best Regards,

Rodrigo

Does this plant form trailing stems in lower light?  I used to have this plant called "acension" which looks like P. esseriana, but the rosettes crawl around during winter months.  Now I have got something call 1717 (I think) that does the same thing.  It is achieving the "crawling" motion by etiolating the stem.  The esseriana just sit there as winter rosettes with succulent leaves while these other plants etiolate like crazy and actually crawl toward the lights.  In one season, they look the same in the next they look completely different.
