Utricularia kimberleyensis
A small terrestrial bladderwort of the monsoon tropics of north-western Australia, growing in seepages, swamp and creek edges and flooded sandy flats in the Kimberley and around Darwin. It is an annual or short-lived perennial of the wet season, flowering purple from March to August as the ground dries, and it wants hot, sunny, waterlogged conditions while growing.
Where it grows wild
