Peperomia venulosa

An epiphytic Peperomia of wet montane forest in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, recorded between about 780 and 2,200 m. It was described by Yuncker in 1957 and has two varieties, var. venulosa and var. avenulosa. Little is published on its habitat or cultivation, so grow it like other cloud-forest epiphytic peperomias: cool-warm, humid and in bright shade.
