Summary

Pinguicula conzattii is an insectivorous plant of the genus Pinguicula native to the Mexican state of Oaxaca, a member of the section Heterophyllum. Closely related to Pinguicula mirandae, it is notable for being pubescent on both sides of its winter leaves. It is named in honour of Cassiano Conzatti, an Italian-born botanist who spent most of his life in Mexico.

About the genus · Pinguicula

Pinguicula, commonly known as butterworts, is a genus of carnivorous flowering plants in the family Lentibulariaceae. They use sticky, glandular leaves to lure, trap, and digest insects in order to supplement the poor mineral nutrition they obtain from the environment. 126 species are currently accepted.

Grouped as a carnivorous plant by the genus Pinguicula, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). Rain rule: a sharp rainy season, June to September at the habitat (not shifted); the temperature curve is flat (3.6 °C of range), so no growing season is inferred. Habitat rain 1939 mm a year, wettest June at 408 mm, driest January at 15 mm (habitat calendar, northern hemisphere). Open sky over the habitat: 32 to 45 mol/m²/day. Cold floor 2.5 °C (1st-percentile habitat night, NASA POWER).
Each sentence is one card's own one-line form, written by the same rule as the card (Its year, Rain, Light, Temperature); the note cannot say what a card does not. Months are given for the northern hemisphere (set your site in Settings to change this), and the habitat's own alongside. The cards · the figures.

Cultivation

Grouped as a carnivorous plant by the genus Pinguicula, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum; the cold floor is the habitat's alone, and no prose comes from the table.

Its year Rain rule: a sharp rainy season, June to September at the habitat (not shifted); the temperature curve is flat (3.6 °C of range), so no growing season is inferred.

This species’ habitat figures, and what two fixed rules read from them.

The rain rule reads a sharp season: 70% of the year's rain (1471 mm of 1939 mm) falls in June to September. The temperature curve is flat, 3.6 °C between the warmest and coldest month, so the growing-season rule does not infer a growing season from it. Months are the habitat's, northern hemisphere; with a flat temperature curve there is no season to reverse, so they are not shifted for a collection elsewhere.

Read from the median year of CHELSA monthly rainfall and mean temperature across the envelope cells: the rain rule takes the smallest set of months carrying 70% of the rain and calls it winter when its mean is more than half a degree below the year's, summer when more than that above, and neither in between; the temperature rule, used only under 120 mm, names the cooler six months when they are at least a degree cooler than the other six. Months are shifted for the other hemisphere only where the temperature curve gives a season to reverse. A reading of the curves, not an observation of the plant.

Rain Habitat rain 1939 mm a year, wettest June at 408 mm, driest January at 15 mm (habitat calendar, northern hemisphere).

1939 mm a year at the habitat, 1471 mm of it June to September. Wettest month June at 408 mm, driest January at 15 mm. Across the envelope cells the year's total runs 1930 mm to 1943 mm (10th to 90th percentile of each cell's own year) (median year across the envelope cells, CHELSA; habitat calendar, northern hemisphere).

Open sky over the habitat: 32 to 45 mol/m²/day across the year (daily light integral, median year across the envelope cells, CHELSA; the lowest 10th-percentile month across the cells is 28, the highest 90th-percentile month 45).

Temperature

Coldest: the 1st-percentile night over 44 years at the typical cell is 2.5 °C, the absolute minimum -1.6 °C, 7 frost nights in 44 years (NASA POWER daily minima). Warmest: the 99th-percentile day is 31.1 °C. Monthly means: coldest night 6.3 °C in January (across the envelope cells 3.1 °C to 8.1 °C), warmest day 24.0 °C in April (median year across the envelope cells, CHELSA). Cold floor: 2.5 °C, which is the 1st-percentile night over 44 years at the typical cell (NASA POWER).

Climate across the habitat

Habitat climate through the yearMean day from 19 °C in Sep to 24 °C in Apr; mean night from 6 °C in Jan to 11 °C in Jun. The cold quarter, Dec to Feb, is the three months around the coldest night. 1939 mm of rain a year, most in Jun. The bands show the 10th to 90th percentile across 3 habitat cells. Over 44 years at the typical cell the absolute minimum was -1.6 °C and the 99th-percentile day 31.1 °C; neither is dated to a month.

Each figure is the median across the 3 grid cells holding the 3 in-range records, with the 10th–90th percentile span across those cells after the slash where it differs. Extremes and elevation were read at the typical cell 1459:1644 (17.025, -97.775). Over 44 years there: absolute minimum -1.6 °C, 1st-percentile night 2.5 °C, 99th-percentile day 31.1 °C. Normals: CHELSA V2.1 1981–2010 climatology, 0.05° cells (each the mean of ~36 1 km pixels). Envelope: median and 10th–90th percentile of each month across the 3 distinct grid cells holding the 3 in-range records; extremes and elevation at the typical cell 1459:1644 (its coldest month's mean night nearest the median across cells); its position is the cell centre. Extremes: NASA POWER (MERRA-2) daily 1981–2024, cell 17.00_-97.500, lapse-corrected +287 m at 6.5 °C/km. Elevation: ETOPO 2022, 2152 m (cell mean).
