Lentibulariaceae - Utricularia Humboldtii
The genera Polypompholyx (two species of pink petticoats or fairy aprons) and Biovularia were formerly regarded as fourth and fifth members of this family. Biovularia has been subsumed into Utricularia, and Polypompholyx has been relegated to a subgenus of Utricularia. Placement of the family was previously in the Scrophulariales, the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group now recommend Lamiales.
