Utricularia petertaylorii

A small annual terrestrial bladderwort of section Pleiochasia, endemic to south-western Western Australia. It grows in winter-wet seepages, swamps and granite slopes, flowering and setting seed before the soil dries in summer. In cultivation it is grown from seed each year in cool, bright, waterlogged conditions.

Where it grows wild

Winter-wet ground: seasonal sedgeland and Melaleuca swamps, creek lines, clay and sandy flats, and yellow-brown granitic soils and moss beds on granite sheets. It grows in open sun or moderate shade, often with Utricularia multifida and U. violacea.

Lowland to low-upland; the only elevation in GBIF is 284 m, and the records lie on the Darling Plateau and coastal plain east and south of Perth.
