Utricularia incisa

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Utricularia incisa faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to wetland drainage and agricultural conversion of its specialized bog and marsh environments. Water pollution from agricultural runoff and urban development degrades the nutrient-poor conditions essential for this carnivorous plant's survival. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate hydrological balance of its wetland habitats.

Threat summary

Habitat

Utricularia incisa inhabits nutrient-poor wetland environments including bogs, marshes, and shallow pools with acidic to neutral water conditions. This aquatic carnivorous plant requires stable water levels and low-nutrient conditions where it can effectively compete using its specialized bladder traps to capture small aquatic organisms.
