Utricularia geminiscapa

Hiddenfruit bladderwort

A free-floating aquatic bladderwort from the northeastern United States and eastern Canada, with one record from British Columbia and a population naturalised near Westport, New Zealand since 1975. It grows in soft, acidic waters and survives winter as dormant turions, so it needs a cold rest.
