Pinguicula jaumavensis was first collected and described in 1991 by Paul Debbert. However, there are arguments that it should be considered a form of P. esseriana rather than having species status. P. jaumavensis is native to the Jaumave area in Tamaulipas, Mexico where it grows on limestone walls. During its active growing season, the carnivorous leaves form “drool edges” so dew and trapped prey won’t slide off as easily when it rains. In cultivation, P. jaumavensis prefers a loose substrate with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 0.5 inches in diameter, carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. If selecting with soil mix, you will receive a little over one cup of our prepackaged Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix in addition to the bare root plant. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot.

Beautiful! This is not a very common plant and it was pristine even after being shipped across the country. Transplanted very well and I didn’t even acclimate it.
