P.'sethos', 'weser', 'sethos' x gypsicola, laueana, agnata x gypsicola, debbertiana var. 'pink flower', ehlersai, oblongiloba, moranensis 'red leaf' and many others...;)
 
describe Pinguicula gypsicola:

Beautiful

describe the summer rosette:

Spidery, long narrow pale green leaves and very glandular, almost looks like a Drosera. I grow a P. gypsicola x P. moranensis plant, 'Frazers Red Leaf', should be in the first question and it is so glandular it looks as sticky as my D. schizandra.

describe the winter rosette:

Very compact, hairy succulent.

Question:
There are two registered cultvars of the cross P. agnata x P. zecheri, name them (hint they have girls names)

Vic
 
The parent's of P. x 'Titan' are :

1. Seed parent; P. agnata (fragrant)
2. Pollen doner; species unknown, but probably P. macrophylla.


Question:
What are the parents of P. x 'Aphrodite' ?

Vic
 
Many Pinguicula can curl their leaf margins around prey, but Pinguicula lusitanica seems to do one of the best jobs of this. I don't know of any that have leaves as flexible as Drosera regia though.
 
Peter D'Amato says that he believes it to be hummingbird pollinated, P. moranensis x unknown which was grown to maturity by John Rizzi, its namesake. This is in his book "The Savage Garden".
 
The moranensis parent of P.xJohn Rizzi is moranensis var. Superba.

As for the pings with leaves sticky on both sides:
P.gigantea and P.agnata 'CSUF'.
