"Utricularia" sect. "Australes" is a section in the genus "Utricularia". The three species in this section are small terrestrial carnivorous plants native to Australia and New Zealand. Peter Taylor originally described and published this section in his 1989 taxonomic treatment of the genus, splitting off species from section "Meionula". Taylor originally placed this section within subgenus "Utricularia". More recent phylogenetic data and revisions have reinstated subgenus "Bivalvaria" and have placed this section within it.Taylor, Peter. (1989). "The genus "Utricularia": A taxonomic monograph."
