Hello,

I have what seems an Utricularia growing in one of my Drosera pots. Could somebody please help me identify it? To me, it looks like a white flowered form of Utricularia minutissima, but I don't have this type of Utricularia in my collection, or at least I didn't know I had it. ;)
This is a very prolific pot, as it has a couple of Drosera platystigma growing in it, but a yellow Utricularia and what seems a Drosera binata have already appeared in it before.
Below are a couple of pictures. The flower is very small, like 4 mm long. The flower stalk is long, like 11 mm, with 3 flowers on it.

Thanks to both of you! You are absolutely right, this is more likely to be bisquamata. I didn't know that there also exists a white flowered form, but this looks exactly like it.

I've also noticed that some of the flowers I have are a very pale lavender that it almost looks white so I guess it's a thing to have the colors vary from a darker purple to whitish.
