Pinguicula conzattii is a small insect-trapping butterwort from Oaxaca, Mexico, known only from a single area on shaded rock walls. It forms a rosette of sticky carnivorous leaves in growing season and short non-carnivorous leaves in winter, and it is rarely grown in cultivation.
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.
Pinguicula conzattii is known only from its type location near Santiago Nuyoo in the district of Tlaxiaco in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Here it grows on well-shaded vertical rock walls at around 2700 m. in altitude. Although it appears to have an extremely restricted distribution, little is yet known about this species.
