#Marantaceae
Get yourself one of these and you will be awed by its beauty on the regular.

My inaturalist app is “not confident” of what exactly it is but thinks it is one of the Marantaceae/Arrowroots family.

Surely some nice plant person will ID it in comments

I have a particular fondness for Marantaceae plants 💚

They're like less fussy calatheas

Back in the balcony garden after a few days of storms and violent winds. The garden was mostly unscathed. This #Stromanthe sanguinea always looks good.

safe list part 2

zingiberales (ornamental and edible gingers, bananas): safe, often used in drugs. marantaceae (goeppertia, calathea) is never confirmed safe but never heard of any bad case either

Calathea lutea (📷: brunoargovia CCBYNC4) has large, thin leaves with a visible coating of wax on their undersides. It is easily harvested. The wax is similar to carnauba wax but is mixed with a resin that must be removed by solvents before the wax can be used. #Marantaceae #wax #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

#gingerplantoftheweek is #marantaceae #Calathea (currently placed in #Goeppertia but is it correct?) inocephala that has a white, oil-rich elaiosome below the bluish seeds facilitating ant dispersal. #neotropicalplants

Just for fun, I dissected a seed of Thalia dealbata (#Marantaceae). What a surprise! 😲The embryo is strongly curved, a germination operculum is present, & there’s that little hollow area (in the right half, left of embryo), the perisperm channel, unique to the family. #seed #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪

I love how the leaves in the Marantaceae family grow in. Skinny little cigar rolls that unfurl into gorgeous leaves 🥰
