Peperomia velloziana

A Brazilian Peperomia of humid forests from Bahia and Goiás south to Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, including gallery forests in the cerrado around Brasília and Atlantic Forest in the south-east. Wild records span about 130–1,900 m, median about 800 m. Much of its range has a marked dry winter, but it grows in the moist forest pockets that stay shaded and humid.

Where it grows wild

A perennial herb of wet forest, recorded from Atlantic Forest in the south and south-east and from gallery forests along streams in the cerrado of central Brazil. Species-level habitat detail is thin; like related Brazilian Peperomias it probably grows on moist banks, rocks and the lower parts of tree trunks in shade.

The 42 wild records with an elevation span 126–1,893 m, median 796 m.
