Description
Back to top

Utricularia caerulea is almost always found growing together with other Utricularia species, sometimes with their stolons and leaves inseparably entwined and forming dense vegetative mats over the wet substrate. The leaves are narrowly obovate, and grow in a lax rosette at the base of the peduncle. The racemose inflorescence is rather slender and tall, with buds, flowers and fruits that are more or less crowded near the tips, which may twine a little in some individuals. The flower has a broadly ovate lower corolla lip with a conical spur parallel to it, topped with a small, oblong and erect upper lobe, and completed with two conspicuous yellow to orangey spots at the base of the lower corolla lobe marking the entrance to the spur.

In Peninsular Malaysia, there are two flowering forms. The white form is always found near coastal or in lowland heath vegetation or other wet habitats with open, sunny conditions, while the pink form is restricted to riverine open areas or heath vegetation in the hills.
