    Taxon info

    Utricularia minor is a free-floating water plant with some leaf lobes transformed into bladder-like structures trapping and digesting small aquatic animals, and in this respect resembling Aldrovanda vesiculosa (Plate 10: 2) with which it was growing together. The photo was taken in Lake Mikri Prespa, where also U. australis and U. vulgaris occur; the latter have larger and more deep yellow flowers.A
