Peperomia fulvescens
A creeping, branching epiphytic peperomia densely covered in tawny-yellow hairs, with elliptic-obovate leaves of about 3.5–5.5 cm, from the very wet Pacific lowlands of Colombia. It needs warm, constantly humid conditions like a lowland rainforest terrarium, and little is recorded about it beyond its original description.
Where it grows wild
Epiphyte in wet lowland tropical forest in Valle del Cauca, near Colombia's Pacific coast, where rain falls almost daily and the air is saturated. It creeps over trunks and branches in the lower, shaded parts of the forest.
Five wild records span 58–295 m (median 100 m); the literature gives sea level to about 100 m.
