Habitat and Ecology

It is annual or perennial herb without roots. Affixed or planktonic, in humid regions sometimes growing terrestrially. Found in a very wide spectrum of aquatic habitats. Often very common but usually found growing intertwined between other plants. Frequent in rice fields but not harmful (Cook 1996). Utricularia gibba is an obligate wetland species. The species has been identified as a specialist invasive species and may out-compete native bladderworts in lowland wetland ecosystems in countries where it is introduced (ISSG 2006).

Comments: Utricularia gibba and U. biflora: Shallow water: pools, ponds, ditches, canals, springheads (Fernald 1950, Gleason and Cronquist 1991, Godfrey and Wooten 1981, Great Plains Flora Association 1986, Hough 1983, Radford et al. 1968, Steyermark 1963). U. biflora also reported from swamps (Godfrey and Wooten 1981) and U. gibba from bogs (Fernald 1950, Hough 1983) and sloughs (Steyermark 1963). In Missouri, Steyermark (1963) writes of U. gibba, "often found floating in masses on mucky debris and organic detritus on the surface of upland sink-hole ponds in the Ozarks". In Puerto Rico, U. gibba is found "creeping on the bottom in shallow water at low elevations" (Liogier and Martorell 1982). In California (where it may be exotic) U. gibba is uncommon, occurring in shallow water and mud, below 1600 meters (Hickman 1993).

Reproduction is sexual, from perfect flowers. The flowers display specialization for insect pollination (Proctor and Yeo 1973). The seeds are probably water-dispersed.

Biological Research Needs: Sort out (understand) the current taxonomy: Kartesz (1994, 1999) lists U. biflora Lam., U. obtusa Sw., and U. pumila Walt. as synonyms of this species. (1) U. biflora has been treated separately in somewhat recent floras, but also as a synonym of U. gibba (Diggs et al. 1999; Wunderlin 1998; Hickman 1993). (2) The identity of U. pumila may be in question: Fernald (1950) listed it as a possible synonym of U. biflora; in other floras the name is variously given as a synonym of U. biflora (Gleason 1952; Radford et al. 1968; Godfrey and Wooten 1981), or U. gibba (Kartesz; Wunderlin 1998; Correll and Correll 1982), or U. fibrosa Walt. (Gleason and Cronquist 1991). (3) The latter is maintained as a separate species from U. gibba by Kartesz (1994) and some other authors, but considered another synonym in Kartesz (1999) and Hickman (1993). Liogier (1995, 2000) maintains U. obtusa, citing as a synonym U. gibba sensu P. Taylor (1964) pro parte, non Linnaeus (1753).

Utricularia gibba

Learn more about this article

Utricularia gibba, commonly known as the humped^[1] or floating bladderwort,^[2] is a small, mat forming species of aquatic bladderwort. This species has a vast geographic range and occurs naturally in the USA (all states except Alaska and Rocky mountain states), Canada, Central and South America, Spain, Israel, most of Africa, most of Asia -including China and Japan-, New Guinea, Australia and Tasmania and the North Island of New Zealand.^[3] The specific epithet is Latin for "hump" or "swelling" - a reference to the inflated base of the lower lip of the corolla.^[3]

U. gibba is listed as a weed on the New Zealand National Pest Plant Accord.

Comments: Following Kartesz (1999), this species includes the plants in some (earlier) works considered as the separate species Utricularia biflora. Kartesz (1999) also includes U. fibrosa Walt. (accepted as distinct in Kartesz (1994)), U. obtusa Sw. and U. pumila Walt and places U. fibrosa Britt in U. striata. The treatment in Weakley (2010 draft) includes U. fibrosa Walt. in U. striata and accepts U. biflora as distinct.
