Description
German Botanist Jost Casper described in 1963 a new species that he named Pinguicula cyclosecta. The epithet "cyclosecta" refers to the circular outline of the corolla lobes. P. cyclosecta have been found in the Sierra Madre Oriental in the states of Nuevo León and Sierra de San Carlos, an isolated mountain range in the state of Tamaulipas.
Growth: Leaves are broadly flattened with slightly curled, purple edges maturing up to 2-4 inches in diameter.
Appearance:Pale blue-green unique to the species; sunstressing an intense, deep purple
Flowers: Large, bright purple-pink flowers, or neon purple.
Dormancy: Produces a smaller, non-carnivorous succulent rosette.
Reduce watering in winter (October–April) to allow the soil to dry between waterings, matching its succulent dormant phase.
