I do appreciate all the field work you have done, but have you seen any
specimen (living, dried, photographed) of _Pinguicula vulgaris_ s.str. from
NE America, or Europe, already?
Of course, the two are related to each other but if you lump them together
you would have to lump nearly all European taxa into _P.vulgaris_ (which
is, as far as I can judge by my own field & herbarium work, absolutely not
justified).
>(...) is very habitat specific.
Which is, e.g. not the case with _P.vulgaris_ s.str....
Many thanks for the locality information!
>The species names and synonyms I accept are:

>Utricularia minor L.

Where do you have this synonym from?
>Utricularia vulgaris L.
> Lentibularia vulgaris Moench.
> Utricularia macrorhiza Leconte
Do you know more than TAYLOR in this respect?
Kind regards
