Peperomia beccarii

A hairless Sumatran Peperomia with sprawling, rooting stems, elliptic-lanceolate leaves about 5.5 cm long and slender flower spikes up to 10 cm long. Casimir de Candolle described it in 1920 from Odoardo Beccari's collection at Ayer Mantjoer, at about 360 m. It is a warm lowland plant, and little else is recorded about it.

Where it grows wild

Wet tropical forest in the lowland hills of Sumatra, where it grows as a herb on the ground or on trees, its stems lying along the surface and rooting as they go.

The type was collected at about 360 m, in warm lowland to hill forest.
