Maranta louisae

Maranta louisae is a horticultural name published by Gagnepain in 1908 and used in the trade; it is the same plant later treated as Calathea louisae and now Goeppertia louisae, a Brazilian species grown as the cultivars Maui Queen and Thai Beauty. It has no wild records under this name, so the conditions here are generic shaded, humid rainforest-understory care.
