Peperomia toroi

A moderately sized epiphytic Peperomia known only from the Cordillera Central of Colombia in Antioquia, at 1500–1600 m. It has zigzag stems about 3 mm thick, alternate lance-shaped leaves 3–5 cm long and loose spikes up to 9 cm. Almost nothing is recorded about its ecology, so care is based on its elevation and on similar Andean montane epiphytes.
