Maranta pacifica

Maranta pacifica is a nursery name of the Linden establishment, taken up by Petersen in Flora Brasiliensis in 1890 for a cultivated plant that was never linked to a wild collection. GBIF holds no occurrence or distribution records and no modern flora treats it. It can only be grown as a generic humid-forest Maranta.
