David,
As I started the in_vitro job, I just tried Bill Carrol's media once
recommended in CPN for _Pinguicula_ (the first species was
_P.grandiflora_). Then (as plants
*and the d... fungi* liked it), I tried other species and sowed even
*the _U.alpina_ on it. This did the job. Other people use 1:5 MS
*media with good
results. _Nepenthes_ frequently likes Knudson C better. Aquatic
_Utriculariae_ can do with Carrol's media, too (without the agar!), but
I prefer the media used by Pringsheim & Pringsheim for _U.gibba_
(Carrol's killed me a _U.intermedia_, which is now doing quite well in
Pringsheims').

If you need references or formulas, please say so.
Kind regards
Jan
