Utricularia heterosepala
A small, subaquatic bladderwort of shallow flowing water. It grows in forest creeks and on wet stones along streams in the Philippines, and in freshwater seepages near the sea in eastern Taiwan. It lives at low to medium altitude, is used to warm, constantly wet, clean water, and is threatened where logging dries up forest streams.
Where it grows wild
In Palawan it grows under shallow water in small forest creeks, on stones along streams in forest, and as an attached rheophyte in a river. In Taiwan it grows on wet grassy slopes and rocks near the coast where freshwater seeps out, sometimes in large numbers. A Borneo record describes it along a river in open ground. The common thread is clean, shallow, moving water over rock, gravel or sand.
Low to medium altitude: labelled records run from sea level to 800 m, most below 100 m.
