Maranta friedrichsthallana

Maranta friedrichsthallana is an orthographic variant of Maranta friedrichsthaliana, the widespread lowland-to-premontane prayer-plant of Central and northern South America, and should be treated as that species. The single record under this spelling is from the Costa Rican highlands at about 1100 m, where the climate is noticeably cooler and wetter than the lowland sites of the species as a whole, so this profile describes a cool, mist-forest population.
