Goeppertia sanderiana
A Peruvian prayer plant with dark green leaves striped pink and white when young and purple beneath, very often sold as "Calathea ornata" or pin-stripe calathea. It is a forest-floor plant that wants steady warmth, shade, constantly moist soil and humid air.
Where it grows wild

No elevation is recorded in the sources found; it is presumed to be a lowland or foothill Amazonian plant.
