Peperomia pubiramea

A rather large, pendulous Peruvian peperomia with slender stems, elliptic leaves 12–15 cm long and paired flower spikes about 15 cm long. It grows as an epiphyte or on the ground in wet forest, and the type was collected in the Río Paucartambo valley at about 700 m. It is assessed as Threatened, and it needs a warm, humid, roomy enclosure where it can hang.

Where it grows wild

Wet tropical forest on the eastern Andean foothills, growing on trees or on the ground. The large leaves on slender, pendulous stems suggest a shaded, sheltered position.

The type was collected at about 700 m in the Río Paucartambo valley. There are no GBIF records to check this.
