Goeppertia pavonina

Goeppertia pavonina was described in the 1860s as Maranta pavonina from plants Linden imported for the European hothouse trade, and is listed only as native to northern Brazil. There are no georeferenced wild records, so this profile is built from the one climate site available and from what is known of lowland Amazonian Goeppertia: hot, humid, shaded and wet most of the year.
