Utricularia multifida

About

Utricularia multifida, commonly called pink petticoat or fairy aprons, is a terrestrial carnivorous plant that belongs to the bladderwort genus Utricularia in family Lentibulariaceae. It is endemic to the south west corner of Western Australia. It was once placed in a separate genus as Polypompholyx multifida. An unusual character of U. multifida is that a tiny plant only 12 mm (0.47 in) wide producs a peduncle 10–12 cm (3.9–4.7 in) tall bearing 2 or 3 flowers each twice the size of the plant which produced them. There are insect traps on underground rhizomes which catch collembola and mites and other soil fauna.
