Q: What is the genus Polypompholyx like?
"Polypompholyx"
A: Polypompholyx was once treated as
a separate genus, clearly closely related to
Utricularia. But in his 1989
monograph, Peter Taylor concluded that Polypompholyx did not merit genus status.
If you think this should be a separate genus, egads are you behind the times! Wake up and smell the roses! These plants
have long since been pushed into the genus Utricularia.
To learn more about these species, read up on Utricularia multifida, U. tenella, and
U. westonii.
