"Utricularia odontosepala" is a small to medium-sized, probably annual, carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus "Utricularia". It is native to tropical Africa, where it can be found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, and Zambia. "U. odontosepala" grows as a terrestrial plant in damp, peaty soils in grasslands at altitudes from convert|1300|m|ft|0|lk=on|abbr=on to convert|2200|m|ft|0|abbr=on. It typically flowers between April and September. It was originally described and published by Otto Stapf in 1912. Peter Taylor later reduced the species to a variety of "U. welwitschii" in 1964 but then reversed his decision and reestablished Stapf's original treatment of the species.Taylor, Peter. (1989).
