Utricularia chapadensis
A small annual terrestrial bladderwort described in 2022 from wet cerrado habitats of Mato Grosso and Goiás in central-west Brazil, notable for its bright yellow flowers with a long curved spur. It grows in full sun in seasonally wet ground and flowers from March to June, at the end of the rains. It is assessed as Endangered because its few populations are fragmented by fire, drainage and eutrophication.
Where it grows wild
The original description calls it a terrestrial annual herb with dimorphic traps. GBIF records come from the Chapada dos Guimarães area (including around the Aroe Jari cave) in Mato Grosso and Alto da Pedra Aparada in Goiás, sandstone plateau country with wet campo and seepages.
One record gives 766 m; the Chapada dos Guimarães plateau sits around 600–800 m.
