Utricularia adamsii

A terrestrial bladderwort described in 2020 (Telopea) from the monsoonal tropics of the Northern Territory and Queensland. Its sites are soaked from December to March and bone-dry from May to September, so it is almost certainly a wet-season annual of seasonally saturated ground.
