Pinguicula ehlersiae 'Victoria'
Pinguicula ehlersiae is a species of butterwort native to Hidalgo and San Luis Potosi, Mexico. It forms carnivorous leaves in the summer and succulent leaves in the winter and prefers a loose substrate. In its carnivorous state, Pinguicula ehlersiae forms “drool edges” on its leaves so that dew and trapped prey won’t slide off.
