Abstract
The large floating bladderwort (Utricularia inflata Walt.) is reported for the first time from New York State. Pertinent literature and the distribution, morphology and cytology of the species are discussed, co mparing it with closely related U. radiata Small, a taxon with which i t has been historically confused. Recent discovery of the large bladde rwort in Massachusetts is noted, suggesting the possibility that its d istribution range may be expanding northward.
