Peperomia ventenatii

A small epiphytic Peperomia from the mountains of Java, Sumatra and the Philippines. The few specimens with elevations come from 1,700–2,300 m, where it grows on tree trunks in cool, misty montane forest. Almost nothing has been written about it, so treat these targets as estimates for a cool-growing montane epiphyte.
