Goeppertia kappleriana

Goeppertia kappleriana is an obscure northern South American prayer plant, described in the nineteenth century as Calathea kappleriana and accepted in Goeppertia since 2012. No usable wild records exist, and the World Checklist gives only Brazil, so this profile is a genus-level guide for a lowland Amazonian forest-floor Goeppertia rather than a measured one.
