Goeppertia pavonii

Goeppertia pavonii is a lowland prayer plant of the south-western Amazon, recorded from Bolivia, Peru and Brazil below 500 m. Unlike many of its relatives it lives in forest with a pronounced dry season from June to September, so it tolerates a drier, warmer spell better than most Goeppertia, though it still wants shade and steady moisture in cultivation.

Where it grows wild

A rhizomatous herb of the shaded floor of seasonally dry to moist lowland forest in the Madre de Dios, Beni and Acre-Rondônia region, where tall rainforest grades toward more open, seasonal woodland. Nothing more specific than the collection localities is published for this species.

Wild records lie between 189 and 490 m, mostly around 250 m on the Amazon plain at the foot of the Andes.
