Utricularia byrneana

A small terrestrial bladderwort of the West Kimberley, Western Australia, described in 2015 by Jobson and Baleeiro. Herbarium labels place it on the wet, grey mud and sand of receding seasonal swamps and lagoons, flowering from April to July as the water drops. No measured climate is available; the tropical monsoon climate of the Broome–Dampier Peninsula region points to a hot wet-season annual.
