Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Pinguicula ionantha, also known as Godfrey's butterwort or violet butterwort, is a rare flowering plant found only in the central Florida Panhandle. It is threatened by habitat loss and is listed as a federally threatened species. The plant has fleshy green leaves covered in sticky hairs used to trap insects for nutrients. Its pale violet flowers bloom from February to April and have a unique conical palate covered in yellow or red hairs. The plant is found in bogs and pine savanna habitats, which are maintained by fire. However, fire suppression and other human activities such as silviculture and urban development pose a threat to its habitat. Overcollection by plant enthusiasts has also been a problem in the past, but the plant is now being propagated and sold with a permit.
