Notes:— Maranta bella was described by William Bull in his Plant Catalogue (1875a: 7). However, neither he, nor Regel (1879: 297) , Kuntze (1891: 696) or Borchsenius & Suárez (2012: 629), in their following combinations, have appointed any type material to this species. Thus, Goeppertia bella is here neotypified (Art. 9.7 of ICN, McNeill et al . 2012 ) with a collection from Brazil (as stated in William Bull’s original description) which presents the same features he highlighted in the diagnosis , such as leaves “obliquely ovate, acute, narrowing considerably towards the point, cordate at the base, and so unequal-sided that one side is nearly twice the breadth of the other”. The synonyms Calathea cardiophylla and Calathea musaica were also lectotypified and neotypified, respectively.
