Goeppertia pulchella

Goeppertia pulchella is a name published by Borchsenius and Suárez in the 2012 transfer of Calathea to Goeppertia, for a species of northeastern Brazil. Its three wild GBIF records are from the Atlantic coast of Bahia north of Salvador at about 130 m, in coastal Atlantic forest and restinga with hot, bright summers and a wetter, cooler April to July. Almost nothing is published about it, so this is a climate-and-genus profile.
