Dear Maxime,

At least 23 spp. of _Utricularia_ 6 spp. of _Genlisea_, and 1 species
of _Drosera_ have been collected in Zambia until now.

You should do so next time. All the Lentibulariaceae mentioned above
have *underground* traps (so little is seen of their carnivory if
you do not dig up the plants and C A R E F U L L Y remove the
substrate). Good luck (and of course a good hand lens, several tight
vials and enough 70% ethanol to conserve sufficient material with
flowers *and* underground parts for future identification)!
Kind regards
