Peperomia penduliramea

An Ecuadorian cloud-forest epiphyte with long, hanging, dull purplish-rose stems and leaves 7–9 cm long that are deep green above and silvery beneath. It was described by Yuncker in 1950 from near the Río Saloya in Pichincha at about 1830–2340 m. There are no wild GBIF records, so growing advice here is inferred from the cool, very wet montane forest it comes from.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte of wet montane cloud forest on the western slope of the Ecuadorian Andes, hanging from mossy trunks and branches. Its pendulous stems suggest it grows on branches or banks where it can trail freely.

Known from about 1830–2340 m near the Río Saloya, Pichincha.
