"Utricularia meyeri" is a medium-sized, probably perennial carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus "Utricularia". It is endemic to western Goias and eastern Mato Grosso in central Brazil. "U. meyeri" grows as a terrestrial plant in bogs and seasonally flooded swamps and grasslands at altitudes from convert|400|m|ft|0|lk=on|abbr=on to around convert|600|m|ft|0|abbr=on. It was originally described by Robert Knud Friedrich Pilger in 1901 and later reduced to synonymy under "U. erectiflora" by Peter Taylor in 1967. He later reevaluated his decision on the basis of scanning electron microscope images of the seed of the two species.Taylor, Peter. (1989). "The genus "Utricularia": A taxonomic monograph."
