Utricularia adpressa
A small, probably annual, terrestrial bladderwort of wet sandy savannas from Belize to Brazil, with yellow flowers on slender, flexible scapes. It grows in full sun in seasonally waterlogged sand, from near sea level to about 1250 m. Grow it like other tropical savanna Utricularia: bright light, warmth and permanently wet, nutrient-poor sand and peat.
Where it grows wild
GBIF labels place it in wet sand savanna, very short savanna, shallow pools in savanna, flooded veredas, wet campo (brejo) next to cerrado and sandstone outcrops in Chapada dos Veadeiros, and Belize pine savanna on sandy soil with low areas that hold water. The Bahia flora calls it terrestrial or a helophyte, with linear aerial leaves and traps in the wet soil.
From near sea level to about 1250 m (Wikipedia); most labelled GBIF records are below 300 m, with a few near 1400 m in central Brazil.
