Calathea trianae

A Colombian prayer plant described by L.B. Smith and Idrobo in 1948, known from a handful of records on the Pacific slope of Nariño around 650–770 m. The measured site is warm and humid with a drier spell in July–September; species-level habitat notes are essentially absent, so this profile generalises from forest-floor Calathea.

Where it grows wild

Presumably a forest-floor herb of wet foothill rainforest, as for nearly all Calathea; no published habitat notes were found.

The three records lie at 650–772 m, in the Pacific foothills of southern Colombia.
