Peperomia rubropunctulata

A Peperomia described by C. de Candolle in 1898 from Ecuador, named for the small red dots on its leaves. Sodiro collected it in subandean forest near Lanzaroto, and a later collection comes from the Chiriboga road on the western slope of Pichincha. It is almost unknown beyond these specimens.

Where it grows wild

Sodiro recorded it in subandean forest. It is assumed to be a small epiphyte or bank-dweller of wet montane cloud forest.

No record has an elevation. The Chiriboga road runs through roughly 1500-2800 m; the climate site at 4195 m is a centroid artefact.
