Peperomia veraguana

An epiphytic Peperomia described in 2020 from a single collection on steep forested slopes above Santa Fe, Veraguas, Panama. Almost nothing is published about its ecology beyond this, so care is based on the wet premontane forest of the Santa Fe area and on related epiphytic Peperomias.

Where it grows wild

Known from the type collection by T. B. Croat in 1976: an epiphyte with green spikes on steep forested slopes above Santa Fe, on the Caribbean-influenced slope of the Cordillera Central in Veraguas. The area is very wet premontane forest.

About 700 to 1,000 m; the type was collected at about 850 m.
