Peperomia lasiophylla

A tiny, hairy epiphytic Peperomia from Sumbawa in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, with short branches about 4 cm long and rounded leaves about 15 × 13 mm that are hairy on both sides. It is known only from Warburg's type collection at about 1200 m, so its needs are inferred from that locality. Grow it as a small, humid, intermediate-temperature terrarium epiphyte.
