Peperomia tjibodasana

A small Peperomia endemic to Java, named after Tjibodas (Cibodas) on the slopes of Gede-Pangrango, and listed as threatened. Its two wild records place it on that mountain, and the measured climate there is cold and extremely wet, so it is best treated as a cool, humid montane plant.

Where it grows wild

Grows in wet montane forest on Mount Gede-Pangrango in western Java. The sources we could open do not say whether it grows on mossy trunks or on the forest floor; small montane Peperomia there typically grow among moss on trunks, logs and banks in shade.

The two records share one point near the Pangrango summit, about 2980 m. The name points to Tjibodas at about 1400 m, so the plant probably spans the montane belt and the summit point may simply be a rough mountain-level coordinate.
