Utricularia foliosa, also known as the leafy bladderwort, is a large carnivorous plant that grows in suspended aquatic environments. It is part of the Utricularia genus and is found in lakes, swamps, and ponds. This plant is native to Africa, North America, and South America and is widely distributed among many countries. Despite its global presence, there is limited research on U. foliosa. It is a perennial plant that can sprout throughout the year and is commonly found in large bodies of water. However, the environments where U. foliosa is found are facing negative impacts from human activities such as drainage and urban or agricultural development, leading to rapid environmental degradation.
