Goeppertia dryadica

Goeppertia dryadica is an Atlantic Forest endemic of coastal Rio de Janeiro state, described by Braga and known from very few collections; the one mapped record is from the Paraty coast at about 120 m. It is a terrestrial understory herb of humid coastal rainforest with a mild, cooler and drier winter. Published detail is minimal, so the conditions come from the site climate and the genus.
