Utricularia corynephora

Utricularia corynephora is a small, probably perennial, carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus Utricularia . Its native distribution includes Burma and Thailand and is only known from the type specimen from the southern peninsula of Burma and from a collection on the adjacent peninsula in Thailand. U. corynephora grows as a lithophyte on wet granite rock faces at altitudes from 180 m (591 ft) to 750 m (2,461 ft). It was originally described by Peter Taylor in 1986. [1]

It is very similar to U. multicaulis.

Utricularia multicaulis is a very small annual carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus Utricularia. It is native to Bhutan, Burma, China, India, and Nepal. U. multicaulis grows as a lithophyte or terrestrial plant on wet rocks or open swampy meadows with mosses at altitudes from 1,800 m (5,906 ft) to 4,000 m (13,123 ft). It was originally described by Daniel Oliver in 1859.

Utricularia jackii is a terrestrial carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus Utricularia. It is endemic to Thailand. U. jackii grows among wet rocks at higher altitudes or sometimes in evergreen forests. It was first collected in 1927 and again in 1958. In his 1989 revision of his monograph, Peter Taylor discussed the specimen and identified it as potentially distinct, but never formally described it. John Adrian Naicker Parnell located the herbarium specimens in preparation for a review of Lentibulariaceae of Thailand and formally described it as a new species in 2005. Parnell named it in honor of his father, John "Jack" Thomas Mackie Parnell.
