Miguel de Salas has suggested that this is Utricularia beaugleholei ssp. orientalis, not something I was aware of so a little unsure as to where to go from here.

The Census of Vascular plants of ACT does not list that species. It is Utricularia dichotoma .

Hi Julie, would you be able to collect a specimen to take to ANBG to confirm the ID of Utricularia beaugleholei.

I didn't receive your email asking me to get it identified by ANBG (who don't identify plants). I now get one saying I confirmed Utricularia beaugleholei which I didn't. I will go along with Michael Mulvaney and say it is U. dichotoma

@michaelb @MichaelMulvaney to be perfectly honest there is some unresolved taxonomy here. Miguel is a National expert on this genus so I am giving significant weight to his ID. I'll send some more info around regarding this change when I return from the coast.

Hi Julie, I have found David Albrecht at ANBG very helpful with ID'ing plants. He would be very interested to see a specimen of Utricularia beaugleholei, which you say is not on the Census of Vascular plants of ACT. ANBG have ID'd dozens of plants for me.

Lucky you they have always sent mine to the National Herbarium to ID.

Administratively, the Australian National Herbarium is a single entity, but physically it is split over two sites - one building on the CSIRO grounds and one on the ANBG grounds. Vascular plants are dealt with by David Albrecht (a herbarium person based on the CSIRO site) while non-vascular cryptogams are dealt with by one other herbarium person based on the ANBG site. Any vascular plant specimen, whether lodged at CSIRO or the ANBG, goes to David. Any non-vascular cryptogam specimen, whether lodged at CSIRO or the ANBG, goes to a herbarium person based at the ANBG. So MichaelB's and julielindner's vascular plant specimens have gone to the same place.
