Goeppertia misantlensis
Goeppertia misantlensis is a Mexican prayer plant of the humid Gulf slope, named for Misantla in Veracruz and recorded between about 780 and 1275 m in the Sierra Norte de Puebla and central Veracruz. Unlike most of the genus it sits in montane forest with a marked cool, drier winter, so it wants milder nights and a slight winter slowdown rather than year-round lowland heat.
Where it grows wild
Shaded floor of humid montane and cloud forest on the Gulf-facing slopes of the Sierra Madre Oriental, often in ravines and along streams where the canopy stays closed. Records are few, so this is inferred from the localities and the genus.
Recorded at 780 to 1275 m, median about 1190 m: a mid-elevation species, cooler than lowland Goeppertia.
