Originating from Brazil, for some time the name Goeppertia was dismissed, with most plants from the genus being classed as Calatheas, however, genetic testing revealed that Goeppertia is the correct genus, so many plants were reclassified back to that name. This confusion with the naming is why Goeppertia concinna is still often referred to as Calathea leopardina. Goeppertia, also known as Prayer Plants, are well known for their colourful foliage and this plant is no exception with its stunning bright green foliage with dark green stripes.
