Goeppertia neoviedii

Goeppertia neoviedii is a poorly known prayer plant of southeastern Brazil, described as Calathea neoviedii in the nineteenth century and rarely collected since. Its home region has a warm rainy summer and a cool, dry winter with nights around 14 C, so it wants a mild seasonal slowdown rather than constant lowland heat.

Where it grows wild

Presumably the shaded floor of Atlantic Forest or semi-deciduous seasonal forest in southeastern Brazil, in ravines and along streams where the ground stays moist through the dry winter. No field notes are published.

Unknown; the one climate site is interior lowland to foothill country, likely 300 to 900 m.
