Pinguicula parvifolia – Rare Carnivorous Butterwort | Live Mountain-Dwelling Plant

Pinguicula parvifolia is a rare perennial heterophyllous rosetted herb, first discovered in 1893. Known for its long, slender roots and unique seasonal growth, this butterwort produces two distinct types of leaves: a winter bulb of succulent leaves and glandular carnivorous leaves during summer. 

Native to mountain habitats with cool, moist, temperate climates, Pinguicula parvifolia is a fascinating addition to any carnivorous plant collection. Its name comes from the Latin words parvus (small) and folium (leaf), reflecting its delicate yet remarkable form. 

Ideal for collectors, terrariums, or enthusiasts looking to expand their butterwort collection with a truly unique species.
