Maranta fulgens
Maranta fulgens is a horticultural name published in L'Illustration Horticole in 1894, with no author of record and no wild collections. Nineteenth-century nurseries applied Maranta to many plants now placed in Goeppertia and Calathea, so this is probably a garden plant of that era rather than a distinct wild species. Treat it as a generic shade-loving Marantaceae and grow it as you would a Maranta or Goeppertia.
