Ctenanthe burle-marxii H.A.Kenn, commonly known as the fishbone prayer plant, is a species of plant in the genus Ctenanthe native to Brazil. Its common name derives from the alternating pattern of stripes on its oval, pale green leaves, while its scientific name is honor of landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx. Similar to other plants in the family Marantaceae, it also has a propensity to close up its leaves at night, which is why it is also called a "prayer plant" like Maranta leuconeura.
The etymological root of the binomial name Ctenanthe is derived from the Greek ktenos meaning 'comb' and anthera menaing 'anther'.
