Maranta anderssoniana

Maranta anderssoniana was described in 2002 from the Atlantic coastal forests of Bahia, Brazil, and is known from only a couple of records near the northeast Bahian coast at about 130 m. Its home is hot, bright and seasonally drier than the Amazon, but as a forest-floor marantad it still needs shade, humid air and a medium that never dries out.
