Utricularia arnhemica


Recommended Posts

Hi Kamil :D ,

really very nice flower. :D

I´ve never seen pictures of this species before.

Are these different clones on the pictures, because the left pot seems to have more colourful flowers?

What a pity that they are not bigger, but nevertheless they are beautiful. :D

Best regards,

Dani

Excellent! I've been waiting years to see photos of this species! It seems as though the flowers are quite similar to U. uniflora- from the front at least and the yellow spur is lovely.

It appears to be a very vigorous grower- possibly a perennial?. Any chance of some shots of the bladders? They are reputedly quite huge compared to most others in the genus.

Thankyou!

I am sorry, I don´t have much growing experiences yet. It seems it is annual in a nature, we will see how it works in culture....

The bladders are..........unfortunately..........tiny, actually majority of them. But sometimes (it depends on growing conditions) the plant create a few huge individual traps about 1,2 cm - until this time I have not luck to see them. :thumbsup:

Dear Kamil,

You may remember that I first had some doubts about those plants of U. arnhemica in cultivation.

No that I have had the time to study some more material of U. arnhemica in detail (thanks for your herbarium specimens, too! ;)), and have seen specimens of almost all members of Utricularia section Pleiochasia, I can confirm the ID of both of your plants. The darker flowered plant fits all characters of typical U. arnhemica, although its flowers are somewhat smaller, and it does not form huge traps in cultivation. Both may result from growing conditions. The brighter flowered plant, however, differs slightly from "typical" U. arnhemica. Nevertheless, I consider this to be natural variation, and thus regard this plant to fall within the range of U. arnhemica, too. The fact that this plant has an almost glabrous palate (glandular in "typical" U. arnhemica), may be the result of integression from some other member of Pleiochasia.

Sorry for having caused confusion about the identity of that plant,

Andreas

(PS: Kamil, you can now remove the gun from your smiley in that other topic ;) Maybe you should put one on mine: :nono: )
