Goeppertia lindmanii

Goeppertia lindmanii is an obscure prayer plant of west-central Brazil, known from a handful of collections around Cuiabá in Mato Grosso. Unlike the rainforest species, it lives in a savanna climate with a hot, very dry winter and a wet summer, so it is one of the few in the genus that expects a marked seasonal rhythm. Almost nothing is published on its cultivation.

Where it grows wild

A terrestrial herb of shaded gallery forest and moist forest patches in the cerrado region, where a stream-side canopy keeps the ground damp through the dry season. Inferred from the collection sites and from how Marantaceae behave in the cerrado; not documented for this species.

The single climate site is at about 200 m near Cuiabá; the surrounding Chapada dos Guimarães rises to 800 m, so a range of 150 to 800 m is plausible.
