Utricularia foveolata

A small, probably annual bladderwort of the Old World tropics, growing in wet soils or shallow water from Africa and Madagascar through India, Thailand, China and the Philippines to Java and northern Australia, sometimes as a weed of rice fields. It is best grown as an annual in a sunny, very wet pot during warm weather, saving seed each year.

Terrestrial or subaquatic in wet soils and shallow water, including seasonally flooded places and rice paddies. Such sites are open and sunny, wet through the rainy season and often dry out afterwards.

No elevation data were found; rice fields and seasonal wetlands suggest mainly lowland sites.
