Selected material:— s.l., Lagoa Oiti, am Rio Palmyras , VIII-1914, fl., P. von Luetzelburg 12705 (M, NY, US) .

Additional material:— BRAZIL. Tocantins: Paranã, Fazenda São João , 26 March 2004, fl. and fr., A.C. Sevilha 3828 ( CEN) .

Comments:— Utricularia poconensis can be confused with U. hydrocarpa (see comments section in this species). Despite an intense search in the available and accessible literature, we were not able to track the precise locality of occurrence of this species in the state; the only known datum comes from from herbarium notes saying that it was collected in the Caatinga domain.
