Utricularia geoffrayi is a small, probably perennial, terrestrial carnivorous plant in the family Lentibulariaceae. It is native to Australia, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. It was originally published and described by François Pellegrin in 1920. It grows as a terrestrial plant among short grasses in or around rice fields at altitudes from sea level to 13000NaN0. It has been collected in flower between September and December.[1]
