Occasional in lochs, slow-moving burns and pools. Bladders c 2-3 mm, leaves c 4-12 mm Skye ID: Leaves fan-shaped with small bristles on the segments. Bladders and leaves are on separate stems, with the odd exception. Other features: Flowers probably never produced in Skye. They are similar to those of Lesser Bladderwort but have red streaks. If you ever see them get clicking with that camera! |
