Goeppertia grazielae

Goeppertia grazielae is a little-known prayer plant of the lowland Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, described as Calathea grazielae in 2001 and known from only a handful of collections in the Rio Doce valley of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo. Its home is hot, with a marked dry winter, so it is a warmer and slightly more forgiving grower than the cloud-forest species of the genus, but it still wants shade, humidity and soft water.
