Peperomia tenuipeduncula

A tiny creeping epiphytic Peperomia endemic to Bolivia, with thread-thin stems about 0.5 mm thick, branches to about 20 cm, and short-stalked elliptic-obovate leaves with rounded tips. The first specimens came from about 750 m, which places it in humid Andean foothill forest. It suits a warm, humid terrarium where it can creep over bark or moss.
