Calathea makoyana or the Peacock Plant is grown for its splendidly attractive leaves that are 15 cms long and veined and have strongly contrasting feather-like stripes on them - with a paler mirror on the undersides.
These are warm climate plants where they go well under taller plants in their dappled shade or they will grow well also as indoor plants in cooler climates.
An excellent understorey plant or for shady patios
