Utricularia praelonga
A medium to large terrestrial bladderwort from wet grasslands and rocky upland fields in southern and eastern Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina. It has long, linear leaves and slender, stiff stems of yellow flowers. It belongs to section Foliosa and grows in constantly wet, sunny ground.
Where it grows wild
It grows in wet, open ground: in the Flora of Brazil treatment it is recorded from campos rupestres (rocky montane grasslands) in Bahia, and elsewhere in its range from wet grasslands, marshy fields and seepages, among sedges and grasses in full sun.
The Bahia records are from the Chapada Diamantina uplands (Mucugê, AbaÃra, Pico do Itobira), roughly 1,000–1,700 m; further south it grows at lower elevations. No elevation data were measured.
