Utricularia macroptera

Utricularia macroptera Brückner (1853) is an old name from Mecklenburg in northern Germany, in the difficult group of free-floating aquatic bladderworts around U. vulgaris and U. australis. GBIF lists it only as a name, with Germany as its range and no occurrence records. Grow it as a temperate suspended aquatic that forms winter turions.
