Utricularia inthanonensis

A tiny lithophytic bladderwort described in 2010 and known only from wet granite rocks at about 1650 m on Doi Inthanon, northern Thailand's highest mountain, where it grows with U. striatula. Little is recorded about it beyond the type description, so its care is inferred from its microhabitat: permanently wet rock in cool, humid montane forest with a monsoon rhythm.

Where it grows wild

Thin films of moss, algae and grit on permanently moist granite rock faces, where seepage keeps the surface wet. It grows alongside Utricularia striatula. It is closely related to U. garrettii and differs in its flowers, seeds and bladders.

Known only from about 1650 m on Doi Inthanon, in lower montane evergreen forest with cool nights all year.

Northern Thailand (Doi Inthanon, Chiang Mai)
