About Utricularia geoffrayi Pellegr.

Utricularia geoffrayi Pellegr. is a small, likely perennial terrestrial carnivorous plant that belongs to the Lentibulariaceae family. This species is native to Australia, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. It was first published and formally described by François Pellegrin in 1920.

As a terrestrial plant, it grows among short grasses in and around rice fields, at altitudes ranging from sea level up to 1,300 meters (4,265 feet). Specimens of Utricularia geoffrayi in flower have been collected between September and December. Utricularia ramosissima, a taxon originally described as a separate species from Ubon Ratchathani Province in northeastern Thailand, is currently treated as a synonym of Utricularia geoffrayi.
