"Utricularia kumaonensis" is a small annual carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus "Utricularia". It is native to Bhutan, northern Burma, the Yunnan province of China, India, and Nepal. "U. kumaonensis" grows as a lithophyte, epiphyte, or terrestrial plant on mossy rocks or in bog grasslands at altitudes from convert|2250|m|ft|0|lk=on|abbr=on to convert|4200|m|ft|0|abbr=on. It was originally described by Daniel Oliver in 1859, although Peter Taylor asserted in his 1989 monograph that Michael Pakenham Edgeworth's 1847 description of "Diurospermum album" is "U. kumaonensis". It is very similar to "U. multicaulis".Taylor, Peter. (1989). "The genus "Utricularia": A taxonomic monograph." Kew Bulletin Additional Series XIV: London.]
