Peperomia enenyasensis

A large, slender climbing Peperomia known only from the type collection near Eneñas on the Pichis Trail in Junín, central Peru, gathered in 1929 in dense forest at about 1600–1900 m. It has ovate leaves 7–10 cm long and paired spikes up to 15 cm, and is finely hairy when young. Almost nothing is known of its ecology, so these targets are inferred from its elevation on the humid eastern Andean slope.

Where it grows wild

Collected in dense forest on the eastern slope of the Andes along the Pichis Trail, an old route from the Chanchamayo valley down towards the Pichis river. Wikipedia describes it as an epiphytic climbing herb of wet tropical forest; no host or microhabitat details are recorded.

The two specimens record 1750 m; Wikipedia gives 1600–1900 m for the type locality.
