Peperomia parvipunctulata
A small, shrubby, branching Peperomia described by Trelease from San Roque in San Martín, northern Peru, where it was collected at about 1,350–1,500 m. It is known from only a handful of herbarium specimens from the 1930s and is almost unknown in cultivation, so its care has to be inferred from its premontane rain-forest origin. Treat it as a warm-to-mild, humid, shaded terrarium Peperomia.
Where it grows wild
Recorded from wet premontane forest on the eastern Andean foothills of San Martín, growing either on the ground or as an epiphyte. No field notes on its microhabitat survive with the few specimens.
The type collections are from about 1,350–1,500 m (one specimen labelled 1,425 m).
