I'm hardly an expert, and I'm sure you've gotten many responses to this by
now, but as far as I know, there are a few species of Utricularia that
"can" grow as epiphytes (but not exclusively) that I wouldn't know the
species of, likeiwse, Nepenthes veitchii has been known to grow
epiphytically, but is not exclusively.
