Pinguicula ionantha
Also called Godfrey's Butterwort
Pinguicula ionantha is a rare species of flowering plant in the butterwort family known by the common names Godfrey's butterwort, violet butterwort, and panhandle butterwort. It is endemic to the US state of Florida, where it only occurs in the central Florida Panhandle. It is threatened by the loss of its habitat, and it is a federally listed threatened species of the United States.
The plant is known from six counties between Tallahassee and Panama City, Florida. There are 83 historical occurrences, and plants were located at 43% of the sites in recently surveyed. Though drought may have reduced recent plant numbers, the species is believed to be declining overall.
