Utricularia kenneallyi

Utricularia kenneallyi is an annual terrestrial bladderwort (section Pleiochasia) endemic to the Kimberley of Western Australia. It grows in wet-season seepages over basalt and laterite and completes its life cycle before the long dry season. Grow it hot, in full sun and constantly wet, and resow it from seed each year.

Where it grows wild

It grows in seepages, trickling water and wet mud on basalt pavements and skeletal lateritic soils among grasses, often beside creeks. The single-flowered stems reach about 10 cm, with mauve flowers marked with white lines.

Low plateaus: the measured sites on the Mitchell Plateau are at about 300–330 m.
