查看更多>>摘要：Utricularia furcellata Oliv. (Lentibulariaceae), a rare carnivorous species, was recorded from Chamoli, Uttarakand, Western Himalaya, India. It shows resemblance to U. striatula Sm., but can be distinguished easily by corolla with 4-lobed lower lip, seeds tangentially attached to placentum, and lateral hilum without glochidia which are confined to distal portion only. Description and photoplates are provided here to facilitate its future identification.Utricularia L. is the most diverse genus of thecarnivorous family Lentibulariaceae. The members of the genus are commonly known as bladderworts. They are semi-aquatic, terrestrial, lithophytic or epiphytic (Gyeltshen and Dema 2020) and widely distributed in tropical and subtropical and a few in temperate regions of the world (Janarthanam and Henry 1992). Taylor (1989) in his monumental monograph of the genus Utricularia, recognized 214 species. According to recent estimate the genus is represented by 220 species in the world (Mabberley 2017). In India, the genus is represented by 40 species (Janarthanam and Henry 1992, Yadav et al. 2000, 2005, Naveen Kumar et al. 2018) with preponderance in hills of Western Ghats and Northeast India. Of these,14 species are endemic to India and majority of them areconfined to Southern India namely: Utricularia albocoerulea Dalzell, U. cecilii P.Taylor, U. janarthanamii S.R.Yadav,Sardesai & S.P.Gaikwad, U. lazulina P.Taylor, U. malabarica Janarth. & A.N.Henry, U. naikii S.R.Yadav, Sardesai & S.P.Gaikwad, U. nayarii Janarth. & A.N.Henry, U. praeterita P.Taylor, U. purpurascens J.Graham, U. smithiana Wight, U. subramanyamii Janarth. & A.N.Henry, U. sunilii Naveen Kum. & K.M.P.Kumar, U. wightiana P.Taylor, while two species U. furcellata Oliv. and U. subulata L., are endemic to Northeast India.
