Goeppertia enclitica

A western-Amazonian Goeppertia (formerly Calathea enclitica) recorded from the Colombian and Peruvian Amazon and adjoining Brazil, in constantly warm, saturated forest. It is a classic rainforest-floor plant: steady warmth, very high humidity and dim light, with no seasonal change worth copying.
