jcz Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just a simple comparison of a root-like stem, a leaf-like stem, and a true but transformed leaf (trap) in Utricularia aureomaculata. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujinamo Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Very nice pictures! What did you use to take them? I'm also curious what your growing medium is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcz Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thank you! I used a simple Canon EOS 700D with 60 mm macro lens. I took the photos rather quickly, so I used the flash incorporated in the camera for taking freehand photos, instead of using the tripod. Nothing special. The substrate is the common CP substrate, about 50% peat and 50% quartz sand, with a bit more sand on the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koen C. Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Nice pictures, do the root-like stems have structures comparable to root hairs? I haven't seen those on my Utricularia before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcz Posted August 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thanks! And no, they have stalked glands, or glanduliferous trichomes, as you prefer :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
