"Utricularia steenisii" is a small annual carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus "Utricularia". It is endemic to Sumatra and is only known from higher elevations in Aceh. "U. steenisii" grows as a lithophyte or terrestrial plant among mosses in exposed or shady soils or on rocks at altitudes from convert|2500|m|ft|0|lk=on|abbr=on to convert|3200|m|ft|0|abbr=on. It was first collected in 1937 by Cornelis Gijsbert Gerrit Jan van Steenis, for whom the species is named. Peter Taylor misidentified a specimen of "U. steenisii" as "U. salwinensis" in 1977, but upon viewing further specimens, he realized the nature of this new species and formally described it in 1986.Taylor, Peter.
