Utricularia uniflora
A small terrestrial bladderwort of south-eastern Australia and Tasmania. It has tiny obovate leaves and underground traps, and 10–20 cm scapes carrying one or two mauve to lilac flowers with a yellow-ridged lip. It grows in bogs, seeps and wet soil by streams, often in shade, and flowers from about August to May. Grow it like other temperate Australian terrestrial bladderworts: permanently wet, in a peat and sand mix, with a cooler winter.
Where it grows wild
Bogs, seepages and wet soil beside streams, often in shade, at low to medium altitudes. Labels also record it in open wallum heath on damp sand, in buttongrass moorland and on sandstone cliff soaks in the Blue Mountains and on the Newnes Plateau.
Low to medium altitudes, from near the coast up to the sandstone plateaus of the Blue Mountains and Newnes (around 1,000 m and above); the few GBIF elevations are 130–320 m.
