Goeppertia fatimae

A rare Atlantic-forest Goeppertia (described as Calathea fatimae by Kennedy and Braga) known from a handful of collections in Rio de Janeiro state, from the Paraty coast up to the Serra dos Órgãos foothills. It comes from a humid but seasonal climate with cool, drier winters, so it takes a cooler winter than Amazonian species and appreciates a mild rest.
