Goeppertia peregrina

Goeppertia peregrina is a Panamanian prayer plant described by Helen Kennedy as Calathea peregrina and moved to Goeppertia in 2014; it is known from just two wild records. Its home is the ever-wet Caribbean lowland of Panama, so it wants an enclosed, warm and constantly humid setup with no dry rest.

Where it grows wild

A rhizomatous understory herb of lowland wet forest on the Caribbean side of Panama, as far as the two records show. Nothing about its microhabitat is published beyond the original description.

Unknown; the records lack elevations and the climate site is at sea level, so it is presumed a lowland species below about 500 m.
