Utricularia reniformis small form



There is some considerable confusion surrounding the proper naming if Utricularia reniformis and I am not yet clear in my own mind. The plants we grow in cultivation seem to derive from a series of distinct clones and I haven't seen a review of the variability of the species in its natural habitat. This is the small leaved form, which has also been christened 'Enfant Terrible'. I find it less vigorous than the larger form but it may be the proper holder of the name Utricuaria reniformis.
