Utricularia gibba, commonly known as the humped[1] or floating bladderwort,[2] is a small, mat forming species of aquatic bladderwort. This species has a vast geographic range and occurs naturally in the USA (all states except Alaska and Rocky mountain states), Canada, Central and South America, Spain, Israel, most of Africa, most of Asia -including China and Japan-, New Guinea, Australia and Tasmania and the North Island of New Zealand.[3] The specific epithet is Latin for "hump" or "swelling" - a reference to the inflated base of the lower lip of the corolla.[3]
U. gibba is listed as a weed on the New Zealand National Pest Plant Accord.
