Q: About Utricularia subgenus Bivalvaria section Enskide
A: A small section with a number of distinct characters such as a pandurate (violin-shaped) ridge on
the lower portion of the fruiting capsule.
Utricularia chrysantha
Oddly enough, some specimens of this plant have thick, almost
succulent flower scapes. Think asparagus stalks.

Taylor acknowledges this as is favorite species in the genus, and that is quite
an endorsement! It has beautifully lobed flowers that are yellow to pale apricot, with red dots. For me, its flowers
evoke certain species of orchids from the genus Oncidium.
