This Carnivorous (insectivorous) plant consists of a small rosette of yellowish-green leaves with upturned margins. The flypaper method of capture is employed whereby the insect becomes mired down in the mucilage which covers the leaves. The margins may slowly enfold the animal over a period of time, after which, enzymes are released which begin the digestive process. Pinguicula lutea is a member of the Lentibulariaceae - Bladderwort family.
