Goeppertia glaziouvii

Goeppertia glaziouvii is a spelling variant of Goeppertia glaziovii (Calathea glaziovii Benth.), an Atlantic Forest herb of south-eastern Brazil named for the collector Glaziou. GBIF now treats the name as a synonym of Goeppertia kummeriana, a small white-flowered understory herb of 25 to 40 cm with leaves darker above than below, collected in Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and São Paulo. There is no measured climate under this name, so the conditions below are built from the coastal Atlantic Forest.
