Comments:— Utricularia erectiflora can be confused with U. adpressa (see comments section in that species), U. juncea and U. laxa , but it differs from U. juncea and U. laxa by its thick and stiff scape and sepals with involute margins. In the state, this species is found in campos rupestres and restingas.
