Maranta albolineata

Maranta albolineata is a name of uncertain application: GBIF accepts a Maranta albolineata Petersen (1890, from the Flora Brasiliensis treatment), but the name was also used in nineteenth-century horticulture for the white-lined plant now called Goeppertia ornata. No wild records or climate data exist under this name. Grow it as a Brazilian forest-floor marantad: warm, humid, shaded and never dry.

Where it grows wild

Nothing specific is published. Maranta species are creeping or clumping terrestrial herbs of shaded, humid forest floor in tropical South America, typically in leaf litter beside streams or in damp low-lying ground.

Unknown; Brazilian Maranta species are mostly lowland plants below about 800 m.
