Abstract We record Utricularia geminiscapa
as a naturalised species from the West Coast (Westland and Nelson) of the
South Island, New Zealand. It occurs from Westport to Haast as a local aquatic
species of acidic shallow water in lowland bogs, fens, and pakihi. Plants
of U. geminiscapa from near Westport have been the basis of the previous
South Island records of the indigenous U. australis (= U. protrusa).
