Goeppertia allenii

Goeppertia allenii is a Central American prayer plant of the wet foothill and lower montane forests of Panama and Costa Rica, most records from 500 to 1000 m. It grows cooler and with a more marked dry season than the Amazonian species, which makes it one of the easier Goeppertia in a temperate house.
