Peperomia stenostachya
An Ecuadorian Peperomia described by Casimir de Candolle in 1898 and known from only a handful of wild records in the north-western foothills. Nothing specific about its habitat is published in the sources checked. Grow it like other small wet-forest Peperomia: warm, shaded, humid and lightly moist.
Where it grows wild
No habitat notes were found. The records come from the humid western foothill forests of northern Ecuador, where many Peperomia grow as small epiphytes on mossy trunks or on shaded banks.
The two climate sites sit at about 520 and 980 m; the records themselves carry no elevation.
