Peperomia huallagana
A small, erect, forking epiphytic Peperomia from central Peru, with whorls of 3–4 small obovate leaves 12–20 mm long and short, dense terminal spikes. It is known from very few old collections and is almost unknown in cultivation. Treat it as a small, humid-forest epiphyte that wants shade, gentle warmth and an airy, damp medium.
Where it grows wild
It is an epiphytic herb of wet tropical forest. The type came from the Río Huallaga canyon near Huánuco and another collection from the Chanchamayo valley in Junín. No habitat details are recorded on the labels.
No elevation was recorded on the specimens. The Huallaga canyon near Huánuco and the Chanchamayo valley span roughly 800–2,000 m, so it is most likely a premontane forest plant.
