It is typically found between altitudes of convert|750|m|ft|0|lk=on|abbr=on and convert|1900|m|ft|0|abbr=on in its southern range and up to convert|2500|m|ft|0|abbr=on in its northern range. It has been collected in flower between October and March.Taylor, Peter. (1989). "The genus "Utricularia": A taxonomic monograph." Kew Bulletin Additional Series XIV: London.]
