Maranta lindmanii

Maranta lindmanii is a little-known species of the Brazilian cerrado described by Andersson, recorded from Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais at 150 to 700 m. Its measured climate is hot with a sharp five-month dry season, so unlike the rainforest prayer plants it should be grown brighter and drier and allowed a winter rest.
