Utricularia antennifera

A small terrestrial bladderwort endemic to the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Records cluster in the monsoonal north-west Kimberley, where rain falls almost entirely from December to March. Like other Kimberley terrestrial Utricularia, it is best treated as a wet-season plant of sunny seepages and wet sand, but its exact life cycle is not documented in the sources we could reach.

Where it grows wild

Terrestrial Utricularia in the Kimberley typically grow in seasonally waterlogged sand, seepages over sandstone and swampy creek margins in open, sunny country. This is generalised from the genus in the region, not documented for this species.

Recorded sites are lowland, about 0-400 m.
