Comments:— Utricularia longifolia can be readily distinguished from all the other congeners in Bahia state by its long obovate to oblanceolate leaves, sepals with microscopically denticulate margins and purple corolla with a yellow crest on the palate, entire lower lip. This species is found in campos rupestres, restingas and Submontane Seasonal Deciduous Forest.
