Peperomia falcata

An upright, unbranched, succulent epiphytic peperomia from Fiji, over 40 cm tall, with narrow sickle-shaped leaves about 6 cm long covered in crisp hairs. Described by Yuncker in 1956 from near Somosomo on Taveuni, it is poorly recorded, with no wild GBIF records, so its care is inferred from Fiji's wet tropical forest.
