Peperomia pubescentinervis
A fairly large but delicate, branching peperomia with thin, shiny lanceolate leaves 4–7 cm long in whorls of three, hairy along the veins above, from which it takes its name. It was described in 1936 from Hacienda Chalhuapuquio in Junín, Peru, and GBIF holds no specimens, so its habitat and elevation are essentially unknown. The targets below are a cautious guess for a humid eastern-Andean forest peperomia.
