Lentibulariaceae

Genlisea
Pinguicula
Utricularia

Lentibulariaceae is a family of carnivorous plants containing three genera: Genlisea, the corkscrew plants, Pinguicula, the butterworts, and Utricularia, the bladderworts.


The genus Polypompholyx (three species of pink petticoats or fairy aprons) was formerly regarded as a fourth member, but has been recently relegated to a subgenus of Utricularia.
