Utricularia blackmanii
A small terrestrial bladderwort described in 2012 by R.W. Jobson, known only from north Queensland. It belongs to section Pleiochasia, and grows in seasonal seepages, spring-fed wetlands and boggy swamp margins in savanna woodland. It is a sun-loving plant of the wet season, best grown as a seasonal wet-sand bladderwort.
Where it grows wild
Herbarium labels describe it in seepage lines on granite, in spring-fed wetlands, on boggy sandy margins of swamps and on the edges of water-filled gilgais. The surrounding vegetation is open eucalypt and Melaleuca woodland with sedges, Xyris, Drosera and other Utricularia. Several sites are noted as ephemeral or 'predominantly dry', so the plants grow while the ground is saturated and then die back or persist as seed as it dries.
Wikipedia gives 200–900 m; labelled GBIF records run from 440 to 905 m, mostly 700–800 m on the Einasleigh and Atherton uplands.
