Goeppertia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Marantaceae, native to the New World Tropics. It contains 243 accepted species, many of which were until recently assigned to Calathea. It was first described by Nees von Esenbeck in 1831, who erroneously erected another genus Goeppertia in 1836, which has now been synonymized with Endlicheria. In 1862 August Grisebach described another genus Goeppertia; this has now been synonymized with Bisgoeppertia.
Maranta leuconeura, widely known as the prayer plant due to its daily sunlight-dependent movements, is a species of flowering plant in the family Marantaceae native to the Brazilian tropical forests. It is a variable, rhizomatous perennial, growing to 30 cm (12 in) tall and broad, with crowded clumps of evergreen, strikingly-marked oval leaves, each up to 12 cm (5 in) long. The plant spreads itself horizontally, carpeting an entire small area of forest floor, sending roots into the substrate at each leaf node.
Goeppertia rufibarba, the furry feather or velvet calathea, is a species of flowering plant in the Marantaceae family, native to Bahia state of northeastern Brazil. The plant's common names are due to its fuzzy, fur-like underleaf texture, which is unusual in its genus. Common as a houseplant, the species requires warm temperatures, shade, and humidity to thrive, and may produce small yellow flowers. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

It is a clump-forming, evergreen perennial, growing to 50 cm (20 in), and is very similar in appearance to G. makoyana. The typical "wild-type", or "natural" form, has papery, ovate leaves of a pastel, seafoam-green hue, outlined with a dark-green edging and "painted" horizontally from the midribs with darker streaks; typical of other species in its family and genus, G. roseopicta features dark reddish, purplish backsides to its foliage, an evolutionary adaptation to growing in darkened or shaded areas on the forest floor, where adequate light reflection is required for photosynthesis.
