Utricularia hintonii

[BobZ]

Fernando Rivadavia sent me this photo of U. hintonii from Tejupilco, Mexico. It is the only photo of this plant that I have seen.

Fernando also sent me a bunch of photos of other rare CPs, which can be found at

Thanks for sharing the pic. Kinda hard to tell from the picture, but this looks like a cool utric. Do you know if he or anyone else has been able to cultivate it yet?

Unfortunately it wasn't introduced to cultivation. I found this single flower and lost the scape before I could take the picture. And I have to admit I did not recognize what species it was until months later. I was expecting something much bigger from Taylor's drawings... But we know where it is and hopefully it will be collected again soon by my Mexican friends...

Take Care,
Fernando

Fernando,

Is that flower resting on your hand??

 

[Fernando Rivadavia]

Yep!! That's my hand, the flower is certainly small!
