Utricularia dunstaniae

A tiny bladderwort of the Top End of the Northern Territory, notable for two antenna-like upward projections on its yellow-brown flower. It grows in shallow seeping water on sandsheet heath around Darwin, emerging with the wet season. This is most likely an annual; confirm in specialist sources before relying on that.
