Comments:— Utricularia foliosa can be confused with the other hydrophyte congeners, especially on herbarium material, but it differs as follows: from U. breviscapa , see comments section in this species; from U. gibba by its inflated and slightly stiff scape, deflexed pedicels in fruits and bilobed lower corolla lip (vs. slender and flexible scape, ascending pedicels in fruits and cucullate orbicular to slightly 3-crenate lower lip); from U. hydrocarpa by its yellow corolla and absence of cleistogamous flowers (vs. pink corolla with a yellow palate and presence of a cleistogamous flower at the base of the scape); from U. poconensis by its yellow corolla (vs. white to pale pink); and from U. cucullata and U. myriocista by its yellow corolla and deflexed pedicels in fruits (vs. magenta corolla and ascending pedicels in fruits). This species is widely distributed in the state, in a wide altitudinal range and diverse phytophysiognomies.
