Goeppertia prolifera

Goeppertia prolifera, first described by Vellozo in the Flora Fluminensis as Maranta prolifera, is an Atlantic Forest understory herb of southeastern Brazil, with records from coastal Paraty in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and from the interior of Minas Gerais at 230 to 1,000 m. It grows in warm, humid summers and distinctly cooler, drier winters, so it is a more forgiving Goeppertia than the Amazonian species. Little beyond the description and herbarium records is published.
