Utricularia chiakiana

[kitkor]

Hi, all.

I was wondering if anyone had any info on this elusive species. All I've been able to find is the authority and year of publication: Komiya & C.Shibata in 1997. IPNI doesn't register this species and searches in several academic journal databases give me no lead. Any idea where it was published?

I noticed Barry had some information about it in his book.

Also, C.Shibata's first name is Chiaki. Suppose it's named after this author?

Thoughts?

Hey Ryan,

If folks here don't get back to you, pester me. I can look in my paper files (at home) and look for the references.

I assumed that it is named after the extraordinary Shibata, as you surmised.

The CP Database states the publication is
Bull.Nippon Dent.Univ.Gen.Educ.26:209 (1997)

Thanks! Bob, it happens to be that the CP Database is the one place I didn't even think of. I usually head to IPNI first. Thanks for reminding me of it; it's now bookmarked.

Doesn't seem like that's an easy journal to get. I suppose I'll just give up on that one.
