    This Calathea will just make it in a warm place outside the hothouse, here in Sydney, although it dies down completely in winter and gets no bigger. It came as Calathea concinna, but that is apparently not a valid name. Anyone know what it really is? I find it hard to get good info on Calatheas. The world expert appears to be Canadian.

    Can't be that, C. makoyana is purple underleaf, and similar but different pattern. Any other ideas?

    I find it hard to believe that among all the experts no-one has a clue about Calatheas. When you managed to identify Cyanastra cordifolium. Oh well!
