Utricularia recta is a small, probably annual carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus Utricularia. It is native to Bhutan, China, India, and Nepal. U. recta grows as a terrestrial plant in marshes and bogs from altitudes around 900 m (2,953 ft) to 4,000 m (13,123 ft).
It was originally described as a variety of U. wallichiana by Daniel Oliver in 1859. It was later transferred to a variety of U. scandens by Krishnaier Subramanyam and Banerjee in 1968. Peter Taylor elevated the variety to the specific rank in 1986 upon further review of its morphological characteristics.[1]

Habit : Herb
Habitat : Wild Maybe Utricularia bifida L. as per images herein. What are the species reported from your area in Mizoram? Utricularia bifida L. ?? From North East there is a species described by Taylor. It is U. recta (U. scandens var. firmula elevated to a species). This may be that. I have collected it from Meghalaya. If fruit photo is there it will be easy to identify, especially to distinguish between U. bifida and U. recta. Utricularia scandens Benj.: 5 very high res. images. Location: Jumla, West Nepal
