<em>P. algida</em> was described as a distinct species by L. Malyshev in
1966. The depicted specimens were collected by himself in the Putorana
Mountains (Russia, Siberia, 300 km E of Norilsk, lower Jenissej region,
300-800m) in August 1970. Unfortunately the hibernacula perished as I
didn't keep them cold enough for a long time. They need (as also <em>P.
variegata</em>) 10-15 centigrades below the freezing point during 9-10
months.

Origin of depicted specimens: Switzerland, Canton Bern, Prealps,
Trogenmoos/Gr&uumlnenbergpass (N of Interlaken), 1500m, slightly acid soil.
<p>
The specimens shown in sj70.148 and sj70.149 have only 4
corolla lobes and the calyx is in axial position at the very end of the
tubular corolla throat, 'behind' the rudimentary spur, while in normal
flowers it is 'in front' the spur. I guess in this growth disorder the
flower development was stopped in an early, 'atavistic' stage, showing how
<em>Pinguicula</em> flowers might have looked in an earlier phase of the
evolution of this genus.
<p>
<em>Pinguicula alpina</em>
is the only winter-bud-forming species with perennial roots. For comparison
see winter buds of <em>P. algida</em> or <em>P. grandiflora</em>.

Common origin of depicted specimens: see <em>P. alpina</em> sj69.27.
Left: <em>P. vulgaris</em>, right: <em>P. alpina</em>. At common sites the
two species can be distinguished in the non-flowering stage as follows: 1)
<em>P. alpina</em> has strong, yellowish, perennial, roots, while the
softer, whitish roots of <em>P. vulgaris</em> decay in winter. 2) The
leaves of <em>P. alpina</em> are narrower and lack digestive glands over
the mid-rib, while the larger leaves of <em>P. vulgaris</em> have a regular
glandular structure all over their surface. <em>P. alpina</em>flowers 2-4
weeks earlier than <em>P. vulgaris</em>.

pigmentation. This difference also remains in cultivation as shown in

The white flower in sj82.05 was also collected from the same location

Mt. Rotondo, Lac d'Oriente, 2060m, granite. Plants collected by Mrs. M.
Conrad on Sept. 4, 1979. The flower color of <em>Pinguicula corsica</em>
is known to be extremely variable from site to site.
<p>
sj82.10 shows a typical habitat in France, central Corsica, Lac de Nino

of Cyprus. The closely related populations found in southwestern Turkey are
listed here under <em>P. crystallina subsp. hirtiflora</em>.
Morphologically and caryologically the <em>P.

Origin of depicted specimens: Spain, Prov. de Jaen, Sierra de Cazorla, 1200
m, limestone, collected by myself August 20, 1969. Grows on vertical rock
walls, below overhanging rock parts in niches protected from direct
rainfall. See also sj70.84 with <em>P. alpina</em>.
<p>
(This plant has been in cultivation since 1969!). Note the overlapping
of the wide corolla lobes. The specimens from Rio Borosa (sj95.7.27)
have less overlap.
<p>
Note the stolons in sj72.20 and 
sj72.22. After flowering <em>Pinguicula vallisneriifolia</em> forms the
long-leaved summer rosette. Characteristically 
<em>Pinguicula vallisneriifolia</em> has also digestive glands on the 
underside of the leaves.
<p>
The rosettes in sj95.4.20 will soon develop flowers and stolons,
followed by the long-leaved summer rosette.

Origin of depicted specimens: Russia, Siberia, Baikalsky Chrjebet, Mt.
Shartlay, near spring of the Lena river, 1900 m, Sphagnum bog, permafrost,
collected by Vladimir Moloshnikov, Victor Voronin and myself July 20, 1980.
At this site the vegetation period lasts only for 6-8 weeks, the remaining
time of the year the soil is thoroughly frozen.
<p>
While flowering, the plants already develop their winter buds. They reach
their full size before the seeds are ripe. On the day of this
photography, July 21, the leaves of the left specimen in sj80.57 were already
decaying. In mid-summer the permafrost begins 35 cm below the Sphagnum
surface.
<p>
Most plants are totally overgrown by <em>Sphagnum</em> and peat grasses.
<p>
The scale in sj80.54 is 1 unit = 1 mm. Note the similarity with the 
rosettes of <em>P. ramosa</em>
