Dear Jason,

it is very probably U. firmula ("rm" can be easily confused with "nn").
According to Taylor's monograph it is a "small annual terrestrial plant"
from tropical Africa.
Its habitats are wet grasslands on sandy or peaty soil, wet mossy rocks and
rice fields, from sea level to 2100 m.

So, it seems a quite adaptable species.
Good U. firmula growing!
