Ctenanthe is a genus of flowering plants of the family Marantaceae described as a genus in 1884. They are evergreen perennials, native to Central and South America (primarily Brazil). They are grown for their attractive, often variegated foliage. They are frost tender, requiring a minimum temperature of 13 °C (55 °F). See Wikipedia: Ctenanthe
I saw this beautiful plant in the National Botanical Garden on the Mall in Washington, D.C.
