Subject: Utricularia flowers

Do only a few species of Utrics produce cleistogamous flowers, or is it a
more or less common trait in the Genus? I'm trying to ID a Utric that
doesn't appear to match any of the possible species it could be. (It is a
Florida, USA native) It sent up an inflorescence a couple of weeks ago,
so I thought, "Good! Now I can ID it!" but the flower has stayed
cleistogamous... If I know that only a few species produce flowers like
that, maybe I can narrow it down a little, anyway.
