Utricularia bifida
Utricularia bifida is a small terrestrial bladderwort, usually grown as an annual, found across tropical and warm-temperate Asia and into northern Australia. It grows in permanently wet, open ground such as seepages, marsh edges, wet grassland and rice fields. Its tiny grass-like leaves sit in saturated soil and it sends up wiry stems of small yellow flowers. At home it wants full light, a waterlogged sandy peat mix and warm summers, and it sets plenty of seed to replace itself.
Where it grows wild
Damp to waterlogged open soils: wet sandy or peaty ground, marshy edges, seepages and paddy fields. Plants grow among low sedges and grasses with little overhead cover, and the traps work in wet soil or a film of water.
Mainly lowland to low montane. No altitude data was measured for this profile. Herbarium material comes mostly from the lowlands of East and Southeast Asia.
