Utricularia multifida in its habitat.
A large population of U. mutlifida growing in a permanently wet seepage site near Marbellup (Western Australia), on oligotrophic quartzitic sand-peat soil covered by a ca. 0.5–1.0 cm, slowly flowing water film. (A) A stand of flowering plants. (B) The plants grow submersed and are partly buried in the soil. (C) An excavated plant. The inflorescence stalks, green photosynthetic leaves, and pale stolons carrying the traps are well visible. Photos by A.F.
