"Utricularia" sect. "Phyllaria" is a section in the genus "Utricularia". The thirteen species in this section are small or very small lithophytic or epiphytic carnivorous plants native to the mountains of Asia, ranging from India to China and New Guinea. One species, "Utricularia striatula", is an exception and is widespread in much of the Old World tropics. Wilhelm Sulpiz Kurz originally described and published this section as "Utricularia" subg. "Phyllaria" in 1874. Franciszek Kamieński reviewed the genus in 1891 and reduced Kunz's subgenus to a section. Later botanists, including Peter Taylor, agreed with Kamieński's assessment. In Taylor's 1986 revision of the genus, he placed this section in subgenus "Utricularia".Taylor, Peter. (1989). "The genus "Utricularia": A taxonomic monograph." Kew Bulletin Additional Series XIV: London.] Later molecular data resulted in the revision of Taylor's treatment, reinstating subgenus "Bivalvaria" and placing this section within it.Müller, K.F., Borsch, T., Legendre, L., Porembski, S., and Barthlott, W. (2006). Recent progress in understanding the evolution of carnivorous Lentibulariaceae (Lamiales). "Plant Biology", 8: 748-757.]
