Got this hitchhiker from a S. kismayo two (2) years ago in a club meet. At first I thought it was a baby kismayo but turned out different. It's a very slow grower, having grown all the leaves you see in two years, the two dried leaves at the bottom was how big it was when i got it. Btw, it's in a 70cm pot (about 3 inches).
I;m pretty sure that the plant in question is not a Pinguicula, I have a pinguicula and it's not even close, here's a pic of my pinguicula.

As you can notice that the ping's forms a rosette while the plant in question has a fan shaped growth. I can understand the confusion as I came to a similar conclusion (guess) when it was smaller, but the baby pings already form rosettes at an early stage.
Hi Hendry, I think your in the right track. I showed the same pictures to a couple of 'experts' and they came to the same conclusion, one says its a lavranos while the other Ehrenberghii.
