Peperomia parvilimba

A small-leaved Peperomia described by C. de Candolle in 1920, endemic to Ecuador. Its only georeferenced record is at about 4200 m in the central Andes, which would place it in high páramo or subpáramo. If that record is right, it is a cold-growing plant that needs cool days and near-freezing nights.
