Goeppertia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Marantaceae, native to the New World Tropics.[1] It contains 243 accepted species, many of which were until recently[2] assigned to Calathea.[1] 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.[3] In 1862 August Grisebach described another genus Goeppertia; this has now been synonymized with Bisgoeppertia.[4]
