Peperomia hartmannii

An upright Colombian Peperomia with a stem about 3 mm thick, narrow ovate-oblong leaves up to 7.5 cm long and dense flower spikes nearly 10 cm long. Casimir de Candolle described it in 1920 from plants Hartmann collected in Colombia and grew at the Berlin botanical garden. No locality or elevation is recorded, so the growing advice here is a cautious estimate for a humid-forest Peperomia.

Where it grows wild

Summaries place it in moist broadleaf forest, growing either on the ground or as an epiphyte. As an erect herb it most likely grows on mossy banks, rotting logs and low on trunks in shaded forest.

No collection locality or elevation is recorded; Colombian moist forest runs from the lowlands into cool cloud forest, so its natural temperature band is unknown.
