Utricularia juncea
Also called Rush Bladderwort
Southern bladderwort is a small carnivorous plant that grows in shallow wet ground or water, trapping tiny aquatic animals in bladder-like traps. Keep its roots and traps wet or submerged in mineral-poor, acidic conditions.
Utricularia juncea, the southern bladderwort, is a small to medium-sized, probably perennial carnivorous plant, in the family Lentibulariaceae. It is native to the Americas. It grows as a terrestrial plant in marshes, swamps, and pools in shallow waters, mostly at lower altitudes. It was originally described and published by Martin Vahl in 1804.
