Calanthe ornata,Koern.(Maranta ornata, Lind. M. regalis, Hort.). Habit vigorous, erect, spreading with age: growths bearing 1-4 Ivs.; blade elliptic or elliptic-cordate, acute, 1-3 ft. long, rich shining green above (in the adult stage), dull purple-red below, the Ivs. in the juvenile stage all beautifully striped between the principal veins with rose or pink, which in the intermediate stage changes to white and disappears entirely in the adult; petiole erect spreading with age, often as much as 4 ft. long and thick in proportion; sheath extending from one-third to one-half its length, upper part terete, slightly downy, especially in the lower part. Guiana to Ecuador. F.S. 4:413-14.—The forms this plant assumes during the different stages of its development have been distinguished by some nurserymen who have distributed them under separate names, C. regalis, C. majestica, and C. roseo-striata all being stages of the one plant. To add to the confusion they are also known in the trade under the generic name of Maranta. The plant known as C. albo-lineata or Maranta albo-lineala, has been referred by some authors to this species, but it has no near affinity and is a different plant from C. ornata, C. imperialis or C. Sanderiana. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
