| Gattung: | Calathea G.F.W.Mey |
| Familie: | Marantaceae |
| Arten: | etwa 300 |
| Vorkommen: | M- und S-Amerika, Karibische Inseln |
| Wegen ihrer farbkräftigen Blätter werden viele Arten gerne als Zimmerpflanzen gehalten. Die kurzlebigen Blüten sind eher unauffällig und entspringen einem kolbenartigen Blütenstand, der an die Ingwergewächse erinnert. Die Pflanzen wachsen meist im Halbschatten-Schatten der feuchten Regenwälder. | |
