Goeppertia soconuscum
Goeppertia soconuscum was described by Matuda as Calathea soconuscum from the Soconusco district of Chiapas and moved to Goeppertia in 2012. The 60 wild records run along the Pacific slope of Mexico from Jalisco to Chiapas at 230 to 1050 m, in seasonally dry forest with hot days, a long rain-free winter and a drenching June to October wet season, so it is one of the few prayer plants that expects a real dry rest.
Where it grows wild
