A few pictures from a valley near the village of Wulai, about 25km south of Taipei. A nice spot for hiking, with the bonus of a few clumps of U. striatula on wet rocks along the way. Not really the peak of the flowering season, but I managed to grab a few fuzzy shots anyway. I really need a better camera though ... the focusing took me ages.

And to make up for the scarcity of decent plant photos ... a few shots of the general surroundings.

Hello,
very nice pictures and a very nice plant.
Are you sure it is striatula? No doubt it is a species of section Phyllaria, but esp. the compact growth and corolla shape made me feel it may be something else.
Do you have some more detailled flower shots?
Thanks for sharing -

Thanks for the comments!
I'm afraid I was hard-pressed to salvage any decent shots from what turned out to be a collection of mostly fuzzy blobs. As far as I know, U. striatula is the only utric growing at this location ... the confusing corolla may be due to the camera angle, and perhaps the flowers being a bit past their best. I'll go back and see if I can find any pics that provide more detail.
As far as I know, again, the list of utrics occurring in Taiwan is ... aurea, australis, bifida, caerulea, gibba, minor, striatula and uliginosa (though I've also seen naturalised graminifolia).
