Maranta riedeliana

Maranta riedeliana Körn. is a Gartenflora name from 1858 for a cultivated plant, evidently linked to Riedel's Brazilian collections, and it has no wild records or modern habitat data. A different Maranta riedeliana of Regel (1879) is now Goeppertia koernickeana, so plants under this name may be either. Grow it as a generic humid-forest Maranta and watch its behaviour.

Where it grows wild

Unknown in the wild. The name comes from a garden plant described by Körnicke in 1858; a later homonym by Regel is now Goeppertia koernickeana. No wild collections are attached to the name, so habitat is inferred from the genus: rhizomatous herbs of shaded, humid forest floors and forest edges in tropical Brazil.

No elevation data; Brazilian Maranta are mostly lowland to plateau plants below about 1,000 m.
