Goeppertia baraquinii

Goeppertia baraquinii was described by Lemaire as Maranta baraquinii from a plant sent to Europe in the 1860s and is listed by Kew as native to northern Brazil. GBIF holds no wild records with coordinates, so the climate here is that of one point in central Amazonas and the habitat is inferred from the genus in Amazonian rainforest. Expect a hot, extremely humid, evenly wet plant.
