2.6. Utricularia cucullata A.St.-Hil. & Girard , Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de l’Académie des Sciences 7(21): 869 (1838). [ Figs. 1 and 6P ].

Hydrophyte. Submerged, verticillate capillary leaves. Traps with a ventral recurved and ciliate appendage. Slightly inflated and flexible scape. Basifixed bracts, entire margins, absent bracteoles.Ascending pedicels in fruits. Sepals with inconspicuous nerves, plan and entire margins. Magenta corolla, white and yellow non-gibbous palate, trilobed lower lip with saccate lateral lobes, straight and obtuse/bifid spur, longer than and parallel to the lower lip. Longitudinally dehiscing capsule.

Selected material:— Barreiras, s.d., fl., A. Cotrim 367 ( HUEFS).

Additional material:— BRAZIL. Tocantins: Ponte Alta do Tocantins , 17 May 2006, fl. and fr., F. Rivadavia 2267 ( SPF) .

Comments:— Utricularia cucullata can be confused with U. myriocista , but it differs by its traps with a ventral recurved and ciliate appendage and smaller corolla, 1-1.5 cm long (vs. traps without appendages, with a central fascicle of glandular-stipitate trichomes instead, and larger corolla, 2-3 cm long). In Bahia state, this species is represented by only one record, in an area of vereda.
