Fleischmann, A., and Rivadavia, F. 2009 Utricularia rostrata (Lentibulariaceae), a new species from the Chapada Diamantina, Brazil. Kew Bull. Vol 64: 155-159.
These two authors have described a new Brazilian species that they place in section Aranella.
Its closest relative (both taxonomically and in spelling!) is Utricularia costata.
The name denotes the beak-like tip of the upper calyx lobe in fruit.
The flowers of this little terrestrial ranges from white to mauve to violet (with a yellow splotch on the palate).
