Mystery Utricularia:

This plant was sent to me as U. steyermarkii, which it does not seem to be (for one thing, U. steyermarkii is yellow). The flower in the photo is about 7 mm wide. The leaves are obovate to oblanceolate, 0.5 to 1.5 cm long and 2-5 mm wide, with conspicuous veining. Ifyou can identify this plant, or think you may be able to given more information, please email me at tmalcolm@islandnet.com.

Mystery (probably) solved. It seems to be U. tridentata. It looks a bit different than my other specimen of the same species, but both fit within the description provided by Taylor. Thanks to Yves-Andre from Switzerland for the suggestion.
