Utricularia fibrosa

An aquatic bladderwort named by Chapman in 1860 from the southeastern United States; many modern treatments do not keep it separate from related species, and Kew's checklist gave no range for it. Records place it in ponds, swamps and ditches of the coastal plain. Grow it like other warm-temperate aquatic bladderworts in a sunny tub of soft water.
