Utricularia ". The two species in this section are very small rheophyticcarnivorous plant s that were formally included in section "Avesicaria" but were reassigned to their own section by Peter Taylor in 1989. He had included them in section "Avesicaria" largely because of the similar habit of the species, but the unique pollen morphology, dissimilar internal trap glands, and theanther s led Taylor to move these two species to section "Choristothecae". Both species are endemic toSouth America , with "Utricularia determannii " only known fromSuriname and "Utricularia choristotheca " located inFrench Guiana and Suriname.Taylor, Peter. (1989).
