Utricularia meyeri
Utricularia meyeri is a medium-sized terrestrial bladderwort of section Oligocista from the seasonally flooded savannas of central South America. It grows in bogs, marshy grassland and seasonally inundated savanna that flood in the rainy season and dry out in the dry season. It is rarely cultivated; treat it as a hot-climate, full-sun wetland plant that is probably perennial but may behave almost as an annual in the wild.
Where it grows wild
Bogs, seasonally flooded swamps and grasslands, wet cerrado fields with termite mounds (campo de murundus), and poorly drained savanna. Collectors in Bolivia found it in seasonally flooded savanna under about 10–15 cm of water.
The literature gives 400–600 m, but herbarium specimens range from about 95 m in the Pantanal and Bolivian lowlands to 1100 m in Chapada dos Veadeiros; most are below 250 m.
