Utricularia bifida is
a small insectivorous perennial herb occurring in marshes, taking
root underground, extending white thread-like rhizomes sideways,
setting tiny insectivorous sacs, and sparsely putting forth 6-7mm
long, linear leave aboveground. Flower stalks measure 5-15 cm in
height, and some approximately 5mm-in-diameter yellow flowers on the
upper parts. This species sometimes coexists with another species,
U. yakushimensis. Bloom time: August-October. |
