List of Utricularia species

There are around 223 species in the genus "Utricularia", belonging to the Bladderwort family (Lentibulariaceae). It is the largest genus of carnivorous plants and has a worldwide distribution, being absent only from Antarctica and the oceanic islands. This genus was considered to have 250 species until Peter Taylor reduced the number to 214 in his exhaustive study "The Genus Utricularia: a taxonomic monograph" published by HMSO (1989). Taylor's classification is generally accepted, though his division of the genus in two subgenera was soon seen as obsolete. Molecular genetic studies have mostly confirmed Taylor's sections with some modifications, but reinstalled the division of the genus in three subgenera. This list follows the subgeneric classification "sensu" Müller & Borsch (2005), updated with new information in Müller et al. (2006).

Section "Minutae"

*"Utricularia simmonsii"Lowrie et al. (2008) notes the placement of section "Minutae" appears, morphologically, to be closer to subgenus "Bivalvaria" "sensu" Müller & Borsch (2005) but would be placed in subgenus "Utricularia" "sensu" Taylor (1989). Molecular studies would confirm its proper placement.]
