Pinguicula Vulgaris Var. Arvetii

Pinguicula vulgaris var. arvetii is a unique carnivorous plant known for its ability to trap and digest insects. This variety thrives in wet, nutrient-poor environments such as bogs and marshes. Its leaves are sticky and glandular, allowing it to capture prey efficiently. The plant is also called the "butterwort" due to its waxy, butter-like appearance. It is a fascinating example of plant adaptation to harsh ecological conditions.
