Utricularia simmonsii

A small annual or perennial terrestrial bladderwort described in 2008 and known only from a few locations in the Northern Territory and Queensland, Australia. It is placed in its own section, Minutae, and is related to the Enskide group of northern Australian bladderworts. Very little has been published on its habitat, so cultivation advice is inferred from related tropical Australian terrestrial species.

Where it grows wild

The sources consulted give no habitat detail. Related northern Australian terrestrial bladderworts grow in seasonally wet sandy or peaty seepages and swamp margins in open savanna, and this species probably does the same.

No elevation data found; the known localities in the Top End and Queensland are likely lowland.
