Goeppertia littoralis

Goeppertia littoralis is a poorly known Brazilian prayer plant whose name means of the shore, pointing to coastal Atlantic forest. It has no usable wild occurrence records, so nothing here is measured; the conditions below are those of a shade-loving Goeppertia of lowland coastal forest in eastern Brazil and should be treated as a starting point only.
