"Utricularia smithiana" is a medium-sized, probably perennial carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus "Utricularia". It is endemic to India. "U. smithiana" grows as a terrestrial or affixed subaquatic plant in swamps or shallow water pools at medium and high altitudes. It was originally described by Robert Wight in 1849, reduced to a variety of "U. caerulea" by Charles Baron Clarke in 1884, and later reinstated as "U. smithiana".Taylor, Peter. (1989).
