"[Utricularia ' Asenath Waite ' {B.Meyers-Rice}] resulted from a cross I
made in 2000 between [Utricularia ' Lavinia Whateley ' {B.Meyers-Rice}]
(seed parent) and [Utricularia ' Mrs. Marsh ' {B.Meyers-Rice}].
Interestingly, [Utricularia ' Asenath Waite ' {B.Meyers-Rice}] has
prominent purple leaf venation absent in both its parents. The flowers of
this new cultivar are distinctive. The corolla lips are large and have a
lovely blue-lilac blush. The lower lip has a large palate bulge with a
yellow splotch at the crest. The rest of the palate bulge is covered with
spots similar to those on Utricularia 'Mrs. Marsh', but much bolder.
[Utricularia ' Asenath Waite ' {B.Meyers-Rice}] should only be propagated
by vegetative means. There is no guarantee that seed progeny would maintain
the characters of this cultivar. Furthermore, many
[Utricularia calycifida {Benj.}] plants grown from seed are slow growing.
In contrast, the highly vigorous nature of
[Utricularia ' Asenath Waite ' {B.Meyers-Rice}] in cultivation was the
final criterion I demanded when breeding superior plants for cultivar
status."
- Standard: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.30:77 (2001)
- Propagation: vegetative only
- Etymology: after a witch noted in the story, "The Thing on the Doorstep" by H.P. Lovecraft. Asenath Waite shared many physical characteristics of her ancestor Mrs. Marsh of Innsmouth. Asenath also had an interesting propensity for shallow plantings in soft soils.

"The flowers of [Utricularia 'Betty's Bay ' {S.Morley}] are huge in
comparison {with typical specimens of [Utricularia bisquamata
{Schrank}]}, with the total height of the flower being up to 10 mm
long, and the lower lip of the flower measuring up to 11 mm across at
its widest point. The upper flower lip is pale yellow, with dark lilac
longitudinal streaks, and is deeply notched at the apex giving the
impression of 2 stubby "ears" at the top of the flower. The lower lip
is predominantly lilac, but with an intense yellow patch at the base
(top) of the lip; the lip is quite bulbous and ridged at this point,
and there is an area of darker lilac between this and the rest of the
lip. The spur is slightly curved, and size-wise about half of the
total length of the flower long. When viewed from the front, the spur
is not visible as it does not project below the lower lip. It is pale
lilac in colour, fading towards the base (top). Each flower stalk can
produce from 1 to several flowers in succession up the stalk; the
specimen before me has 3 flowers/buds and measures 14 cm high, but is
not yet fully grown. Unlike the "normal" form in cultivation, which
readily self-pollinates and seeds profusely all over adjacent pots,
[Utricularia ' Betty's Bay ' {S.Morley}] does not appear to set seed
in cultivation unless hand pollinated."

"The primary distinction between the two cultivars of
[Utricularia reniformis {St.Hil.}] is size. At maturity,
[Utricularia ' Big Sister ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] consistently produces
large leaves i.e. at least 8 cm in diameter. One of us (MS) has even
observed a greenhouse specimen with leaves 22.2 cm in diameter, on a
petiole 46 cm tall! Mature
[Utricularia ' Big Sister ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] specimens do not
produce abundant small leaves (in contrast with
[Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}], described below).
A second feature distinguishing the two cultivars is the incision into the
leaf where the petiole attaches to the leaf blade. In
[Utricularia ' Big Sister ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}], this cut is narrow
(i.e. acute). See, for examples, the leaf lamina outlines in Taylor (1989),
Figure 131 (figure elements 2,3,4). Floral characters are not considered
important in distinguishing these two cultivars.
Of the two Utricularia reniformis cultivars,
[Utricularia ' Big Sister ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] seems to be slightly
more challenging to grow well. The giant leaves are not developed to
perfection if the conditions are inadequate. This plant may perhaps be
treated best as an epiphyte, and should be grown in a comparatively light,
airy mix. Humidity should be high."

"As I mentioned in a previous note (Carniv.Pl.Newslett.22:56, 1993),
an interesting, mauve colored form of [Utricularia calycifida {Benj.}]
is particularly noteworthy. This plant bears rounded, purple-veined
leaves as does [Utricularia ' Yog-Sothoth ' {B.Meyers-Rice}]. The
flower is also large as in that cultivar, but differs in the details.
First, the palate bulge is more rounded, pronounced and distinct
from the rest of the lower corolla lip. Second - and most obviously -
the yellow palate splotch is larger and surrounded by numerous anastomosing
pale veins. The mauve-pink that contrasts with the pale veins is more
saturated than the pink that colors the rest of the flower.
The cultivar epithet "mauve flower" has not been established, so for
this plant I propose instead the name [Utricularia ' Cthulhu ' {B.Meyers- Rice}]."

"[Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] is the smaller
form of this species in cultivation. Its leaves never exceed approximately
4 cm in size, on petioles approximately 12 cm tall. An interesting feature
of this cultivar is the production of a carpet of minute ground-leaves
under the large aerial-leaves. The diameters of these leaves range from as
small as only a few mm to as large as a few cm. Depending upon the
cultivation conditions,
[Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] may only have
large aerial-leaves, minute ground-leaves, or both. In a relatively dry
California greenhouse, one of us (BR) has observed this plant to grow only
aerial leaves during the cool, amenable winter, and ground-leaves during
the hotter, fierce summer.
Another feature distinguishing
[Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}]from
[Utricularia ' Big Sister ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] is in the nature of the
leaf incision, where the petiole attaches to the leaf blade. In
[Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}], the incision is
typically obtuse (instead of acute, as in
[Utricularia ' Big Sister ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}]). For examples, refer
to the leaf lamina drawings in Taylor (1989), in particular Figure 131
(figure elements 5,6,7).
[Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] is often confused
with [Utricularia nephrophylla {Benj.}], which has 0.1-1 cm leaf blades.
While the ground-leaves of
[Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] can mimic the
appearance of [Utricularia nephrophylla {Benj.}], the larger aerial leaves
of [Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] are diagnostic.
The flowers of these two species are also quite different.
Horticulturists who possess
[Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] are sometimes
frustrated by this plant when, despite heroic cultivation measures, it does
not produce gigantic leaves. This is not
[Utricularia ' Big sister ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}]! On the other hand,
[Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] survives easily in
conditions where [Utricularia ' Big Sister ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] might
wither and perish.
[Utricularia ' Enfant Terrible ' {B.Rice & M.Studnicka}] is grown easily in
a variety of mixes, but prefers a relatively light soil."

"The plant has the general floral and leaf structure of the paternal
parent. The flower color, however, is quite different; while the
flowers of [Utricularia praetermissa {P.Taylor}] are typically white
or pale pink with a yellow palate splotch, the flowers of this
cultivar are a splendidly rich mauve, with a prominent vitelline
palate splotch.
The leaves are petiolate, with obovate laminae. Each petiole is up
to 7 cm long, the lamina measures up to 7 x 3 cm. Including the
typical spray of 3-4 flowers, the entire inflorescence is up to 30 cm
long. The flower stalk is stiff, and about 2 mm thick. A whorl of
three narrow bracts is at the base of each flower pedicel; an
additional whorl of bracts occurs on the peduncle, at about 2/3 of
the distance from the ground to the lowermost flower. The whorls are
rather strange, because they are serried, with two bracts crossed one
over the other. The flowers open progressively from below, and thanks
to their durability, the earliest flowers to open are still in good
condition when the last flower opens, resulting in a very impressive
and beautiful show! It is vigorous, and produces flowers frequently,
time and time again.
The flowers are large - the lower lip of corolla measures 34 mm in
length and 52 mm in width. The smaller, upper lip is shorter than the
upper calyx lobe, and is mostly hidden by it. The spur is falcate - it
reaches the margin of the lower lip, but does not curve backwards at
the apex as does the spur of [Utricularia praetermissa {P.Taylor}]."

"white flower". This epithet has not been registered, and since it

"In an article on Utricularia calycifida (Carniv.Pl.Newslett 21:
9-13, 1992) I discussed a clone that I referred to as "spotted
flower". This unestablished epithet is being abandoned, and the
cultivar name [Utricularia ' Mrs. Marsh ' {B.Meyers-Rice}] is being
established in its place.
I described the flower of Utricularia Mrs. Marsh in detail in that
article, and for convenience I am using the Figure 2 that appeared on
page 12 as a photographic standard. In summary,
[Utricularia ' Mrs. Marsh ' {B.Meyers-Rice}] can be recognized by its
small white to pale-lilac flower. The corolla lips are decorated with
small purplish-brown spots which are sometimes stretched into
streaks. The orange-yellow palate splotch is edged in brown. The
overall effect is remarkably similar to the patterning on some frogs
or tiger cowrie sea shells ([Cypraea tigris]). The leaves are strap
shaped, and are purplish only when growing rapidly."

"I used the tentative, descriptive phrase "purple veins" to describe
one commonly cultivated form. This form has petiolate leaves with
a oval lamina that are veined throughout with deep purple pigmentation
(see Carniv.Pl.Newslett.21:10, Figure 1:1). The flowers are large,
and the apron-like lower corolla lobe hangs down and nearly completely
hides the spur. The corolla is pink, but with a yellow patch (edged
in white) on the proximal palate bulge (see Carniv.Pl.Newslett.21:12,
Figure 3). This plant is being established as the cultivar [Utricularia
