Bladderwort (Utricularia sp)

I thought this belonged to the carnivorous sundews (Drosera roraimae), but none of these flowers sprung up from any visible host! I did find it among sundews, but the flower stem had always sprung up from the wet soil. I also found that the flowers of the sundews of Roraima opened up hanging face down – in contradiction to these.

Thanks to Andre I now know it’s a Bladderwort – a really small one compared to the Utricularia humboldtii.
