This paper is dedicated to Prof.Karl Heinz Rechinger on the occasion of his 80th birthday. He has encouraged me to study the genusPinguicula taxonomically, and liberally has placed at my disposal the rich plant collections and the library of the Botanical Department of the Museum of Natural History, Vienna, in the late fifties.
