Plants: Greater Bladderwort or Common Bladderwort (tricularia vulgaris ) is an aquatic species of bladderwort found in Asia and Europe. Without roots and free-floating, its leaves are finely pinnately divided, and interspersed with numerous bladders about 1/8", which turn dark from devouring infusoria, including mosiqutoes. Stems can attain lengths of over one metre in a single growing season, but die back and form turions in winter. It is a native of eastern Asia and North America.
