Goeppertia mandioccae

Goeppertia mandioccae was described by Koernicke from the Rio de Janeiro region, its name recalling the Mandioca estate at the foot of the Serra dos Orgaos where nineteenth-century collectors worked. It is an Atlantic Forest understory herb known from almost no modern collections, and its needs are inferred from the climate of its home region and from its relatives.
