Goeppertia coriacea

Goeppertia coriacea (Calathea coriacea H.Kenn.) is a Panamanian endemic known from a single wild GBIF record, named for its leathery leaves. It comes from hot, humid lowland forest with a pronounced January–March dry season, so it is a warm-grower that tolerates a short drier spell better than most of the genus.
