rosolis76 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hello everyone, Last year, I made a trip in South America but it was not especially to search for carnivorous plants. Nevertheless when I was in Santa Cruz department in Bolivia, I was lucky to visit some interesting tropical biotopes where I probably could find some carnivorous. I was walking for a while on the road, when I noticed that the soil there was very wet in some place. Apparently there war some resurgences of water flooding a grassland type vegetation. The first Utricularia flower I could see was U.tricolor (hope I am right ;-)) Then I find two other different species with yellow flowers growing with the first one. I am not sure about the identification so I prefer wait for specialists. Sorry for the quality of the pictures but I didn’t have a good zoom to do macro photography. Finally, there was a fourth REALLY SMALL species with yellow/white cream flowers of 1 mm covering the soil that I didn’t see first time. My friend took macro pictures where you can see detail of the flower. Here is a comparison between U. subulata flower and the tiny white Utricularia. If anyone know what is this Utricularia species, I am interested... Hope you enjoyed it. Best Regards, Damien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Hingst Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Nice shots - I like especially the tricolor pics. The small Utricularia looks like subulata to me. Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Rivadavia Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) Hello Damien, Nice picss of the Utric with red scapes & yellow flowers! To me, that looks like U.pusilla, whereas the 1st looks like U.tricolor and the 3rd looks like U.subulata. Congrats!
