Maranta eximia

Maranta eximia L.Mathieu ex K.Koch & C.D.Bouché (1855) is a name from the nineteenth-century Berlin hothouse trade; GBIF keeps it as an accepted entry with no wild records, and the same plant was later transferred to Goeppertia eximia (Calathea eximia), a Brazilian forest-floor species. Grow it as a shade-loving, humid-forest Goeppertia.
