Pinguicula chuquisacensis is an insectivorous plant of the genus Pinguicula
Plant is somewhat erect, with leaves flat upon the growing surface. Hibernacula are absent. The plant possesses 4âÂÂ6 loblong to ovate-oblong leave, forming a rosette. Flowers small, at 13âÂÂ15 mm long, including the spur (which is 2âÂÂ3 mm in length). Plants flower in July, and fruit in November among remaining flowers. The authors have recommended that the species be classified as CR (Critically Endangered) according to criteria B2a+b due to a small area of occupancy and potential and ongoing threats to areas near to and in the immediate area of the cliff side. Genetically, P. chuquisacensis is closest to P. involuta and P. calyptrata (respectively).
P. chuquisacensis is endemic to Bolivia, where it grows at an elevation of above sea level. P. chuquisacensis is restricted to the valley of Nuevo Mundo, on one cliff face northeast of Villa Serrano. The species only exists on acidic sandstone formations frequently veiled in fog, growing perennially in open areas.
