See text 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.
