I do know at least one old cp site in (now) Poland:

Swinemuende (Swinoujscie) "an der Swine" (at, i.e. rather certainly
not *in*, the Swine; sort of river), N of Stettin (Szczecin) just on
the (now) Polish side of the German/Polish border was (many decades
ago) a locality of _Utricularia ochroleuca_. I think it was (/?is;
to be confirmed) the typical taxon (i.e. not _U.stygia_), as far as
that could be judged from the dried specimen (in STU!).

Kind regards
Jan
