Goeppertia cinerea

An obscure Brazilian Amazon calathea, described by Regel in the 19th century as Calathea cinerea and listed by Kew for northern Brazil, with no georeferenced wild records at all. Everything here is inferred from the region's lowland rainforest climate and the habits of the genus; treat it as a warm, humid, shade-loving understory herb and adjust as the plant tells you.
