Utricularia (bladderwort)


Explanation:
Utricularia (bladderwort)
Plantas en "Roseta''
Estas plantas se reproducen vegetativamente (asexualmente) mediante estolones o hijuelos, los cuales se pueden cortar normalmente cuando la nueva planta es lo suficientemente grande como para crecer por ella misma. Como las plantas de tallo, muchas crecerán fuera del agua y producirán flores en ese estado. Generalmente, prefieren agua ácida y ligeramente blanda (2-3dKH, pH 5.5-7).

Lentibularia


Explanation:
Looks like common name for "Utricularia acuática", i.e. Mike's option. Though, I could not say which of the two terms is more used in Spanish. Here it goes just in case.

agree  Gonzalo Garcia: Parece más frecuente en castellano; así, hay referencias a la "lentibularia menor", pero no a la "utricularia menor", sino "minus".
