Goeppertia concinna is a small, shrubby perennial from southeastern Brazil, grown mainly as a houseplant for its patterned leaves. It needs warm, humid, bright indirect light and steadily moist soil; note that the plant sold as this name in the trade is often a different species.
Goeppertia concinna (syn. Calathea concinna, Calathea leopardina) is a species of flowering plant from the genus Goeppertia in the family Marantaceae. It is native to Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. A perennial shrub of the wet tropics, it has found use as a houseplant.
In cultivation, there is a species that is often misnamed as Goeppertia concinna, which is a Goeppertia species called in the trade "Freddie". Those plants are a different species as Goeppertia concinna. The real G. concinna is more often sold as Goeppertia leopardina (or Calathea leopardina).
