A terrestrial bladderwort from the Top End of the Northern Territory, described by Jobson and Cherry in 2020 and named for the Gaagudju language of the Kakadu region. Records run from near Darwin to the Kakadu–Katherine sandstone country below about 300 m. It grows in wet ground in monsoon savanna during the wet season, so grow it hot, sunny and wet.

Where it grows wild

The sources checked do not describe its microhabitat. Terrestrial bladderworts of the Top End grow in seepages, wet sand and the margins of seasonal swamps in open savanna, which are saturated in the wet season and dry out afterwards.

Few records carry an elevation. The climate sites lie at 13–274 m.
