Try to get a copy of Taylor's monograph ("The Genus Utricularia", Kew
1989, 40 GBP). I would guess you have _U. livida_ or one of the
Oligocista species but your "description" is a bit too cloudy to be
sure (there are over 200 spp. in this genus, some being *very*
difficult to distinguish).

Kind regards
Jan
