Goeppertia pacifica

Goeppertia pacifica is a Peruvian prayer plant described by Linden and André in the 1870s from plants in European cultivation and almost never collected since; GBIF holds a single 1899 herbarium specimen without coordinates. Grow it as a warm, humid, shaded Amazonian-foothill Goeppertia and treat every figure here as a genus-level estimate.

Where it grows wild

Unknown in the field. Peruvian Goeppertia of this kind are rhizomatous herbs of the shaded floor of wet lowland and foothill forest on the eastern slope of the Andes, often on stream banks.

Unknown; the only climate site used lies at about 270 m in the upper Huallaga valley of Huánuco, which may or may not reflect the true locality.
