Pinguicula agnata is a tropical species of carnivorous plant in the family Lentibulariaceae. Its flowers are a blue-violet color. Pinguicula agnata is native to northeastern Mexico. Its sticky leaves are lined with stiff bristles which capture unsuspecting prey upon contact, its large white to purple flowers bloom late in the spring, and its succulent leaves retain moisture during the dry season. Endemic to humid pine forests, this remarkable plant has adapted perfectly to take advantage of the ideal environment it needs for survival.[1]
