"U. recta" grows as a terrestrial plant in marshes and bogs from altitudes around convert|900|m|ft|0|lk=on|abbr=on to convert|4000|m|ft|0|abbr=on. It was originally described as a variety of "U. wallichiana" by Daniel Oliver in 1859. It was later transferred to a variety of "U. scandens" by Krishnaier Subramanyam and Banerjee in 1968.
