Utricularia hamata

A bladderwort from Western Australia described by Jobson and Barrett in 2018. The data place it in the Pilbara. The few records are from March and April, just after the summer rains. It likely lives in short-lived wet ground in a hot, arid region, so grow it very hot, sunny and wet during a summer season.
