Peperomia pangerangoana
An obscure Javanese peperomia described by Casimir de Candolle from Mount Pangrango in West Java, collected by Kurz between Cibeureum and Kandang Badak. That stretch of trail runs through cool, very wet montane cloud forest at roughly 1700–2400 m, so grow it cool and humid. Almost nothing else is published on it, and its current taxonomic status should be checked.
Where it grows wild
Montane rainforest and cloud forest on the slopes of Gunung Pangrango in the Gede-Pangrango massif, West Java. The type label records only the locality; peperomias there typically grow on mossy trunks, branches, banks and rocks in constantly wet, misty forest.
The type locality lies between Cibeureum and Kandang Badak on the Pangrango trail, roughly 1700–2400 m. No record gives an exact elevation.
