Peperomia marmorata

Silver heart peperomia

A Brazilian Peperomia from the southeast, figured by Hooker in 1866 and grown as the silver-heart peperomia for its marbled leaves. There are no wild georeferenced records; the climate comes from a stand-in site in Minas Gerais. It is a shade-loving plant of humid Atlantic Forest.

Where it grows wild

Presumably on the humid forest floor or on mossy rocks and logs in Atlantic Forest, like many Brazilian peperomias. No habitat notes were reachable.

No elevation is on record; the stand-in site is at 582 m.
