Utricularia dunlopii

An annual terrestrial bladderwort of the Kimberley and the Top End of northern Australia, described by Peter Taylor in 1986. It grows only in the wet season, in seasonally saturated sandy ground, and sets seed before the long dry season. Grow it hot, bright and wet, and restart from seed each year.
