It is Utricularia striatula of Lentibulariaceae family. I think the common English name of this plant is Striped Bladderwort. This plant grows on rocks and tree trunks as well. Only during monsoon this tiny beauty is alive!
Plants of this genus are insectivorous! You can see the bladders at the nodal region of the stem.
