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]

The genus name of Goeppertia is in honour of Heinrich Göppert (1800–1884), a German botanist and paleontologist.[5]

Goeppertia can be easily distinguished from Calathea by the rosette-shaped flowers on Goeppertia, where Calathea has more of a ladder structure for its blooms.[citation needed]
