High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pinguicula orchidioides (pron.: /p????w?kj?l? ?rk?d????di?z/) is a perennial rosette-forming insectivorous herb native to Mexico and Guatemala.

Nutrients derived from the prey are used to supplement the nutrient-poor substrate that the plant grows in. Uniquely among Pinguicula species from the Americas, p. orchidioides produces gemma-like basal buds which elongate into stolons and serve as a means of asexual reproduction.

Single purple flowers appear between July and September on upright stalks up to 22 centimeters long. Данное издание представляет собой компиляцию сведений, находящихся в свободном...
