Goeppertia Nees (1831: 337) , tropical Americas

Most species previously included in Calathea have been recently moved to Goeppertia , which became the largest genus in Marantaceae with 250 species ( Borchsenius et al. 2012). Most of these species have strongly variegated leaves and a cone-shaped, colourful synflorescence. Too many species are in cultivation in Singapore to give a comprehensive list and species in this genus can be seen planted in gardens and indoors for their attractive, variegated foliage (fig. 7E–H). Goeppertia majestica ( Linde 1865: 103) Borchs. & S.Suárez in Borchsenius et al. (2012: 632) (fig. 7E) is popular due to its attractive, often white-veined leaves. It has been planted in the vicinity of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
