Utricularia geoffrayi is a small, probably perennial, terrestrial carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus Utricularia. U. geoffrayi is native to Indochina and can be found in Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. It was originally published and described by François Pellegrin in 1920. It grows as a terrestrial plant among short grasses in or around rice fields at altitudes from sea level to 1,300 m (4,265 ft). It has been collected in flower between September and December.[2]

Utricularia ramosissima from Ubon Ratchathani Province in northeastern Thailand was described as a separate species.[3] It is regarded as a synonym of U. geoffrayi.[1]
