The Agnata section of Pinguicula includes species such as agnata, gigantea, albida, and filifolia. Agnata in the wild grows on steep cliffs of calcareous rock that's often dry. The holotype of Pinguicula agnata was collected in the state of Hidalgo on the slopes of Barranca de Toliman. A 'typical" variety of agnata. The leaves blush a light reddish pink, and have no upturned leaf margins. It's glands are extremely pronounced, and make the whole plant shimmer. I've yet to see this plant flower, and will update when it does. P. agnata doesn't seem to be a terribly picky grower, and will most likely do fine in a variety of mixes. One thing I've noticed is agnata can be a bit tricky to propagate though leaf pullings sometimes, given the lack of truly succulent leaves.
