Nicole Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Hello Utricularia fans (and everyone else)! a few months ago I started my big Utricularia project: A database with a picture of every Utricularia (plant, flower and trap). At first I wanted to take all the pictures by myself... But I noticed that there are many Utricularia missing. So I decided to take pictures from other people, too. I hope that I can replace the pictures in a few years with my own pictures. My goal is to see every Utricularia and to take a picture of it! So: The pale pictures are not from me and the file-name contains the name of the photographer. At the end of the table I thank the "donators". Here it is: http://www.utricularien.de/startseite.php?go=karnivoren_kultur_utricularia-arten You can order the species (up-and-down) after name, section, growth and flower colour, when you click there on the table head. Javascript has to be activated. I hope that you can help me to complete the list. Everyone who has a new picture for me can send it to zwergkrug(a)gmx.de Thanks in advance! Many Regards, Nicole Edited March 16, 2013 by Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny... Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Very nice Nicole! I have only one question..are you sure about the U. Australis?..i'm not doubting your expertise, but yesterday we found a super colony of this plant here in holland. We (dutch cps boardmembers), were all in the understanding that it was Vulgaris... Here is a quick snap... The red streaks are clear here..so what is it? Anyway, nice job on the site!..unfortunately i cannot assist in expanding your pictures..but keep it going!

Nicole Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'm really sure that this picture shows Utricularia australis, because the pic was not taken in nature. It was photographed at Christian Kleins garden pond. But I think that is a little bit difficult to differ U. australis and U. vulgaris. For me they are all yellow... and I don't like yellow.

Andreas Fleischmann Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hello Danny, The U. australis in Nicole's database is correctly identified, and the plant on your photograph is the distinct U. vulgaris. Just compare the length of the pedicels, for example. I will finally prepare a post showing the floral differences between those two very similar species and post it here soon. My goal is to see every Utricularia and to take a picture of it! Good luck! Noone every did so far, and some of the enigmatic species only exist a dried or liquid preserved material. You will need a lot of time (and money ;)) to do all the travels neccessary to reach your aim ;) All the best, Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 @Andreas: Thank you! I will complete that list (ok... in a few decades). You forget that I have another option if I don't find a species: to draw it! But at first I want to take real pictures. By the way: You can help me to find the missing species. Many regards, Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantrid Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) @Andreas: Thank you!I will complete that list (ok... in a few decades). Many regards, Nicole I also started a similar database today ... ....... For Dionaea I must be pretty slick and good, I finished it already :) Edited August 6, 2009 by mantrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 No reaction... I think that it is better, when I search for pictures and ask the photographers. There is no escape! Many regards, Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Rivadavia Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hello Nicole, Congratulations on all your work!! I just wanted to correct something which is actually a mistake of my own... That picture of the leaves of U.schultesii is actually of U.huntii, sorry! I didn't know what they were at the time and misidentified them accidentally. Didn't think this species occurred N of the Amazon Basin, hehehe! Best wishes, Fernando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) @Javier: If you got a picture that is missing on my database yon can send it to my email-address! @Fernando: No problem! I've got another picture with the leaves. Thanks for the information. I replaced it already! Only 3 pictures left and I reach the 50%-"hurdle"! Thanks to everyone who donated pictures. With my own pictues I'm at ~30%! Many regards, Nicole Edited October 6, 2009 by Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Fernandez Diaz Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Yes, for the fans of the utric this page is very important! At the moment I no have photos of the especies that you not have, but, for example...I have U. livida "South africa"...the photo of the leaves and the flower is interesting for you? Is one variety..
