Utricularia peranomala
A tiny annual bladderwort from the hills of north-east Guangxi and nearby Guangdong. It grows on wet rocks among moss, with leaves about 1 cm long and 1–2 small yellowish flowers on 1.5–2.5 cm scapes in July–August. It completes its life in the warm, wet summer and faces near-freezing winter nights, so in cultivation it is best treated as a seasonal plant: sow in spring, grow warm and wet on mossy rock, and collect seed in autumn. Very little has been published on it beyond the original description.
Where it grows wild
Flora of China and the original description record it on wet rocks among moss. That is a bryophilous lithophyte habitat such as dripping rock faces or seepage-wet boulders in hilly forest, where capillary stolons and tiny traps spread through the moss film.
The type collection has no elevation. The measured sites, from recent observations, were corrected to about 510–1,170 m.
