A small, hairy epiphytic Peperomia from the Andes of central Peru, with dark green, rounded leaves 1.5–3.5 cm long and dense spikes with yellow bracts in the upper leaf axils. It is known essentially only from its type collection near Mito at about 2700 m. Treat it as a cool, humid montane plant; almost nothing is recorded about its habitat.
