The ICPS database states: "I used the tentative, descriptive phrase "purple veins" to describe one commonly cultivated form. This form has petiolate leaves with a oval lamina that are veined throughout with deep purple pigmentation (see Carniv.Pl.Newslett.21:10, Figure 1:1). The flowers are large, and the apron-like lower corolla lobe hangs down and nearly completely hides the spur. The corolla is pink, but with a yellow patch (edged in white) on the proximal palate bulge (see Carniv.Pl.Newslett.21:12, Figure 3). This plant is being established as the cultivar [Utricularia 'Yog-Sothoth' {B.Meyers-Rice}]."
"Etymology: notes the potent and enigmatic entity mentioned in various stories by H.P. Lovecraft, the original Yog-Sothoth and the cultivar share features such as peculiar venation, countless sucking mouths, and an insatiable appetite."
