Utricularia terra-reginae

A small, probably annual bladderwort endemic to Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, described by Peter Taylor in 1986. It grows in full sun in seasonally waterlogged sedge flats, swampy depressions and wet white sand in Melaleuca woodland, alongside Drosera indica, Drosera banksii and Eriocaulon. Grow it in the tropical wet-season way: hot, sunny and waterlogged, then collect the seed.
