  • Description

    Species Description - Stems short, creeping on the bottom in shallow water, radiating from the base of the scape. Leaves less than 1 cm. long, dichotomously divided into few capillary segments, bladder-bearing; scapes solitary or 2 together, 5-12 cm. high, 1-4-flowered; pedicels erect-ascending in fruit; corolla yellow, 12-15 mm. broad; spur slenderly conic or subulate, equalling or usually exceeding the lower lip; capsules many-seeded.

  • Discussion

    In shallow water, Great Bahama, Andros, New Providence, Great Exuma : eastern United States. Specimens from Andros, without flowers, were doubtfully determined by Morong as U. foliosa L. and as U. gibba L. ; the former is certainly, the latter probably, referable to this species. Two-flowered Bladderwort.
