Sub-classification of Pinguicula species

This sub-classification of the genus Pinguicula is derivated from Casper's monograph (1966), Schlauer (1986), Luhrs (1993), Gluch (1995, 1997) and the world carnivorous plant list maintained up-to-date by J.Schlauer on the carnivorous plant database web site at http://www.omnisterra.com/bot/cp_home.cgi

Subgenera, sections, sub-sections and species have been organised in alphabetical order. Sub-species, forms and varieties have not been included. Species which are subject to debate have not been indicated either. As a complete taxonomic revision of the genus is beyong the scope of this web-site, readers are warmly refered to the litterature on the subject. (see link to recent list of new scientific literature on carnivorous plants (192-2002) by Dr Lubomir Adamec).
