Utricularia lunaris

A terrestrial bladderwort segregated from the Utricularia amethystina complex (sect. Foliosa) in a 2022 revision by Baleeiro, Gonella and Jobson. It is known from west-central Brazil. Plants of this group grow in wet, sunny campos and seepages of the cerrado, with a hot, wet summer and a dry winter. There are no georeferenced GBIF records, so the conditions here generalise from its relatives.
