Say what? There are lots of yellow-flowered Utrics (cornuta, flaccida, etc, etc). Back to my initial question. The ICPS database states that exoleta is a synonym for gibba or minor (not bifida). Is the photo indeed of U. bifida?
Bob, I think what William is saying is that U. bifida is the only other yellow flowered Utric that occurs in Hong Kong. To me it does appear a little different to the U. bifida shots I have seen before. It's a pity we do not have a shot of the flower from front on. The matted effect on the wet soil does appear to be that of an aquatic species.
U. exoleta is considered to be a synonym for U. gibba nowadays. I don't know about exoleta being a synonym of minor though, haven't heard that before. Does this logic therefore mean that U. gibba is supposedly a synonym of U. minor? Surely this cannot be the case as they are both considerably different. Don't want to argue with the ICPS database but it just doesn't seem right.
