Utricularia Utricularia, commonly and collectively called the bladderworts, is a genus of carnivorous plants consisting of approximately 233 species (precise counts differ based on classification opinions; one recent publication lists 215 species). They occur in fresh water and wet soil as terrestrial or aquatic species across every continent except Antarctica. "Utricularia" are cultivated for their flowers, which are often compared with those of snapdragons and orchids, especially amongst carnivorous plant enthusiasts.

Alphitonia Alphitonia is a genus of arborescent flowering plants comprising about 20 species, constituting part of the buckthorn family (Rhamnaceae) of the rosid eudicots. They occur in tropical regions of Southeast Asia, Oceania and Polynesia. These are large trees or shrubs. In Australia, they are often called "ash trees" or "sarsaparilla trees". This is rather misleading however; among the flowering plants, "Alphitonia" is not closely related to the true ash trees ("Fraxinus" of the asterids), and barely at all to the monocot sarsaparilla vines ("Smilax").

Utricularia rostrata Utricularia rostrata is a small annual (occasionally a perennial) carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus "Utricularia". "U. rostrata" is endemic to the Chapada Diamantina highlands of Bahia, Brazil. It grows as a terrestrial plant in damp sandy soils near streams and waterfalls in semi-shaded areas at altitudes from 550 to . It was originally described and published by Andreas Fleischmann and Fernando Rivadavia in 2009, though specimens of this species had been discovered as early as 1992. Fleischmann and Rivadavia note that the species is common throughout the Chapada Diamantina highlands and its distribution includes Chapada Diamantina National Park, thus justifying its ranking as a species of Least Concern under the IUCN.

Utricularia bosminifera Utricularia bosminifera is a small, probably perennial, carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus "Utricularia". It is endemic to the Ko Chang island of Trat Province in Thailand. "U. bosminifera" grows as a terrestrial or subaquatic plant on sandy banks by streams. It flowers throughout the year. "U. bosminifera" was originally described and published by Carl Hansen Ostenfeld in 1906 and later reduced to a variety of "U. bifida" by J. F. Maxwell in 1985. Peter Taylor disagreed with Maxwell's taxonomic treatment and reinstated the species in his 1986 monograph. The species epithet, "bosminifera", refers to the bladder traps' shape, which resembles a "Bosmina", a small crustracean.

"U. scandens" grows as a terrestrial plant in wet grasslands and bogs at lower altitudes around sea level up to 2300 m . It was originally described by Ludwig Benjamin in 1847. There is a significant amount of synonymy established for this species, in part because of its large distribution and variable morphology.

Utricularia purpurea Utricularia purpurea, the eastern purple bladderwort, is a medium-sized suspended aquatic carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus "Utricularia". "U. purpurea" is endemic to North and Central America. It has been suggested that "U. purpurea" may have partially lost its appetite for carnivory. Richards (2001) did an extensive study in the field on it and noted that trapping rates of the usual "Utricularia" prey were significantly lower than in other species in the genus. Richards concludes that this species can still trap and digest arthropod prey in its specialized bladder traps, but does so sparingly. Instead, it harbors a community of algae, zooplankton, and debris in the bladders that indicates "U. purpurea" favors a mutualistic interaction in place of a predator–prey relationship.
