Goeppertia exscapa

A western-Amazonian Goeppertia first described by Poeppig and Endlicher as Phrynium exscapum; the name refers to the inflorescence borne on a very short stalk down among the leaf bases. Known from eastern Ecuador, Amazonian Peru and Pará, it wants warm, humid rainforest-floor conditions with only a slight easing of water in the July–September drier spell.
