Utricularia aurea is a species of flowering plant in the family Lentibulariaceae. This medium- to large-sized suspended aquatic carnivorous plant is sometimes referred to by the common name golden bladderwort.

Genomics

A chromosome-level genome assembly of Utricularia aurea was published in 2026. The genome is approximately 180.3 Mb in size, with 99.99% of the assembled sequences anchored onto 20 pseudo-chromosomes. The assembly has a BUSCO completeness of 94.98%, and 33,365 protein-coding genes were predicted.

Distribution

It is the most common and widespread suspended aquatic species in Asia. It is native to Assam, Australia (New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia), Bangladesh, Borneo, Cambodia, China, East Himalaya, Hainan, India, Japan, Java, Korea, Laos, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Guinea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Sulawesi, Sumatra, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
