Peperomia bermudezana

A smooth, creeping and climbing epiphytic Peperomia from lowland and foothill rainforest in central Peru. It has elliptic, pointed leaves 7–9 cm long with three main veins and long thread-like flower spikes up to 7 cm. It is known from Puerto Bermúdez at 375–400 m and from Tingo María, so it wants warm, humid, shaded terrarium conditions.

Where it grows wild

It grows on trees in dense, wet lowland forest. Killip and Smith's 1929 labels from Puerto Bermúdez record dense forest; a 1957 collection comes from Naranjillo near Tingo María, in the humid foothills of the Huallaga valley.

Recorded at 375–400 m at Puerto Bermúdez; Tingo María lies at about 650 m. It is a lowland to foothill species.
