Utricularia bifida  / Mimikakigusa ミミカキグサ

 
Utricularia bifida is a small, insectivorous, perennial herb that occurs in marshes, taking root underground and extending white, thread-like rhizomes sideways. It sets tiny, insectivorous sacs and sparsely produces 6-7mm long, linear leaves above ground. Flower stalks measure 5-15 cm in height, and some have approximately 5 mm in diameter yellow flowers on the upper parts. This species sometimes coexists with another species, U. yakushimensis. Bloom time: August-October.
