The photographs below are the first to be published of this Pinguicula, known by the code name YuccaDo1713 (ABG 97-1713 Yucca Do 60-19-031695 to give its full code). For a full discussion of the YuccaDo plants see the article by Travis Wyman (Pyro on the CP forums) at A World of Pinguicula http://perso.club-internet.fr/cpartrat/Pages/yucca_do_complex.htm
I'm not qualified or expert enough to judge whether or not this is a new species, or a white flowered form of a known miniature mexican, like P. esseriana or P. jaumavensis for example. Although I grow most of the likely suspects, and it doesn't look the same as my plants, I only grow a single clone of each which doesn't take into account natural variation in these species. Any opinions on the ID, expert or other, welcome.
Close up of throat, to show purple veins.
