Maranta hatschbachiana

Maranta hatschbachiana was described in 2002 from Pernambuco in north-eastern Brazil and is known from very little material; the one GBIF specimen comes from a rocky site called Pedra do Espelho. Treat it as a prayer plant of the humid Atlantic-forest remnants and montane brejo forests of Pernambuco: warm, shaded, humid, with a drier late-year season.

Where it grows wild

The only located specimen was collected at a rock outcrop site in Pernambuco, which points to shaded forest around granitic outcrops, the habitat where Marantaceae are commonest in that state, either in the coastal Atlantic forest or a brejo de altitude enclave. No habitat notes are published beyond the type description.

Not recorded; Pernambuco forest remnants run from near sea level to about 1,000 m in the brejos.
