Utricularia delphinioides
A terrestrial bladderwort from Indochina with relatively large purple flowers. It grows in wet sandy grassland, seepages over rock, swamps and rice fields, in full sun. It grows through the monsoon and flowers as the rains end, so it needs a wet, bright, warm summer and tolerates a drier winter.
Where it grows wild
It grows as a terrestrial plant in swamps and rice fields, wet grasslands and open pine forest. Labels add seepage rivulets over open rock in full sun, wet silica-sand grassland, muddy open fields, and wet grassy openings fringed by evergreen forest, sometimes alongside Drosera burmannii.
From near sea level to about 1,300 m. The few GBIF records with elevations span 13–950 m.
