Two or three other species are met with in some parts of 
England, but they are very rare, and probably escapes from old

This order contains 4 genera and about 150 species. There 
are two British genera, which may be introduced into the 
garden as objects of curiosity. Pinguicula vulgaris, Butter-

erect axillary one-flowered naked scapes. The flowers are 
purplish, with a ringent spurred corolla and stamens inserted 
at the base of the tube. The variety grandiflora is the 
handsomest. The generic name is from pinguis, fat, from the
