Peperomia mitchelioides

A little-known Peperomia described by Sodiro in 1900, endemic to Ecuador. Nothing beyond the original description has been published, and GBIF has no wild records. The profile therefore uses general conditions for small Ecuadorian Peperomia and should be treated as an estimate.

Where it grows wild

The habitat is not documented. The name compares it to Mitchella, which suggests a small creeping plant with round leaves. That fits the mossy banks, logs and low trunks where similar Andean Peperomia grow.

No elevation is on record. The stand-in climate site is at 1215 m.
