Why?

i need information and pictures because this plant is native to Vietnam , and that's where My fan=mily is . so if I can collect some of these plants in the wild then I would be able to cultivate them and trade them .

Okay, but it would have been helpful if you had mentioned that in the first place.

The only reference I can find is Taylor. It grows in southern Vietnam, perhaps adjacent Cambodia and Thailand. Most specimens recorded are from Thi Tinh, a hill about 70 km NW of Saigon. The rest of the data is similarly vague. Altitude is given as 1500m, recorded in flower march, june and december.

It has a twining inflorescence wih yellow flowers 1-1.7 cm long.

I does not seem likely that you would be able to find it, although if you did, make sure you record the details and preserve a specimen - there would likely be people interested in seeing it.

Good luck.

If you go to the CP database

http://www2.labs.agilent.com/bot/cp_home

and type in

L:.*VN,.*

It will list all carnivorous plants recorded in Vietnam. There are quite a few, including lots of utrics.

You would then need to search the web, or go to a university library and look at a copy of "The Genus Utricularia" by Peter Taylor to find more information.
