Utricularia recta P. Taylor, Kew Bull. 41: 10 10 1986. (syn: Utricularia scandens var. firmula (Oliv.) Subramanyam & Banerjee; Utricularia wallichiana var. firmula Oliv.) ?;
Utricularia recta is a small, probably annual carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus Utricularia. It is native to Bhutan, China, India, and Nepal. U. recta grows as a terrestrial plant in marshes and bogs from altitudes around 900 m (2,953 ft) to 4,000 m (13,123 ft). It was originally described as a variety of U. wallichiana by Daniel Oliver in 1859. It was later transferred to a variety of U. scandens by Krishnaier Subramanyam and Banerjee in 1968. Peter Taylor elevated the variety to the specific rank in 1986 upon further review of its morphological characteristics.[1] (From Wikipedia on 17.9.13) 31082013 Utrricularia 2 RD-2 : Attachments (1). 4 posts by 3 authors.
