Utricularia furcellata

A tiny annual bladderwort (section Phyllaria) that grows on wet, mossy rocks in the mountains of north-east India and mainland South-east Asia. It lives at about 1500–2700 m, so it needs cool, humid, damp conditions and a wet moss or rock surface rather than a bog pot.

Where it grows wild

It is a lithophyte on moist rock faces, growing in thin films of moss and algae on dripping or seeping rock, often on stream banks and road cuttings in montane forest. The section as a whole is made up of small lithophytes and epiphytes of Asian mountains.

Wikipedia gives 1500–2700 m. GBIF records include high sites such as Doi Inthanon in Thailand, Bidoup-Núi Bà in Vietnam and Dali in Yunnan.
