Submitting images of an Utriculara sp for identification.
Date/time: 12-8-2015/ About 5-00 pm
Location: Devaramane, Mudigere, Chikmagalur, Karnataka about 1400 msl
Habitat: Wild
Habit: Herb, Occurring in rock crevices amidst grass. 

Utricularia species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) 


Beautiful pictures. But, without KEY & details I am unable to identify the species out of about 38 distributed in our country. South India has several blue, purple, pink and a mix of all 3 coloured flowers of Utricularia. Even colour vary in a given species. Whereas my experience is with only two yellow species!
However, please check probability of Utricularia praeterita P. Taylor.

I am not sure if it is mix up of two species. The base of the lower lip is not clear. Appears U. praeterita.
Would appreciate a specimen along with fruit for confirmation.

Submitting few images of a Lentibulariaceae sp for ID assistance. Could this be an Urticularia…..??? This was occurring at some distance from Utricularia graminifolia tufts..!
Habit: Terrestrial herb.
Habitat: Evergreen forests, amidst wet rock crevices.
Sighting: Devaramane, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1400 msl
Date: 22-08-2015

It looks like Utricularia praeterita. Only thing the color is little pale – either due to over exposure or naturally white like in most of the Utricularias where blue ones break into white.

Devgad, Kokan, MH :: Utricularia-3 for ID :: ARK2021-064: 4 images.

There were many types of Utricularia growing on the lateritic plateau near Devgad, coastal Kokan, MH in Aug 2021.
Am not sure whether the first 2 are the same as the last 2. Is it possible to ID.

Requesting to please validate.


Utricularia arcuata Wight ??


1st and 3rd appears to be closer to Utricularia graminifolia Vahl 

2nd and 4 th may be Utricularia praeterita P.Taylor  though details are not clear.

All are U. praeterita, its also polymorphic species like that of U. graminifolia
