Talk:List of Utricularia species

I sniff subspecies
My assertion at the top of the article that Taylor's 114 214 species are generally accepted is somewhat belied by the list that follows it. I can't count to save my life but after several attempts I strongly suspect we are somewhere between five and twenty species over par. And isn't U. macrorhiza (one of the pictured species) just a ssp of U. vulgaris?

I'm driving down to Bristol tomorrow, and I hope to have time to pop into the library and consult Taylor's list. If no-one manages a more urgent correction, I'll be back brandishing it :-) ~ Veledan • Talk + new 22:59, 8 September 2005 (UTC)


 * The fiducial Taylor value of 214 is no longer accepted, as times go on and new species are described. Furthermore, Taylor argued, in a reasonably compelling manner, that U. macrorhiza is not conspecific with U. vulgaris. They differ in floral characters. --Plantphotographer (talk) 22:43, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Indeed, the number at the top of the list needs to be updated. Section Minutae was added to the list recently without the number of species being increased. This list also needs to be checked if something else is missing. I've only got a few more species stubs to finish off what's here. --Rkitko (talk) 22:57, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Added U. stygia to the list. --Graminophile 11:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Species still to do
A list for myself when finishing off these species stubs. These need to be written, taxonomy checked, and placed in this list: --Rkitko (talk) 17:41, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Utricularia terrae-reginae P.Taylor, 1986 (section Pleiochasia)
 * Utricularia subramanyamii Janarthanam & Henry, 1989 (section Oligocista)
 * Utricularia malabarica Janarthanam & Henry, 1989 (section Oligocista)
 * Utricularia jackii J. Parn., 2005 (section Oligocista)
 * Utricularia chiakiana Komiya & Shibata, 1997 (section Utricularia)
 * Utricularia babui Yadav, Sardesai & Gaikwad, 2005 (section Oligocista)
 * Also check Section Minutae - Rice placed it in subg. Bivalvaria?
 * Lowrie et al. paper describing this species places it in subg. Utricularia.
 * Check our Section Avesicaria - many more species than Rice's checklist; Section Setiscapella?
 * Confirmed, Setiscapella; move species.


 * Two issues checked. --Rkitko (talk) 22:38, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey Guys, Barry Rice here. I'm working this week to update the FAQ. It should come more into compliance with wikipedia shortly. I notice, though, that you don't have U.linearis on your list, while you have a separate page for it?Plantphotographer (talk) 16:37, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
