Peperomia tablahuasiana

Peperomia tablahuasiana is an Ecuadorian endemic described by Casimir de Candolle in 1898. The two located records are at about 4200 m in the central Andes, near the upper limit for Peperomia. Nights there are close to freezing year round, so it is a cold-growing plant that suffers in a warm terrarium.
