N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Is this a specimen in some sort of bag or what it looks like - a photo?

[mossysal]

It is a specimen of a Utricularia (Bladderwort) in a bag as you suggest. The bladders are animal-catching devices.

Thanks again - had been so distracted by the unusual presentation failed to notice it definitely wasn't a Butterwort! Amended. Mike d'A
