Little Bladderwort

In Ladakh, this insectivorous plant is known as

lingna. There, the dried and powdered leaves are

roasted on a flat stone, after which the powder is

mixed with water and put in a bottle, which is then

buried for ten to fifteen days. The Ladakhis enjoy

this drink (lingeatzish) primarily in winter. It is

said to have very inebriating effects and can cause

death if consumed in excess (Navchoo and Buth

1990,320*).
