Peperomia verediana

An obscure Neotropical Peperomia known from a handful of herbarium collections, mostly from Costa Rica's Caribbean-slope foothills, plus Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and the Peruvian Amazon. The few habitat notes describe it on rocks by rivers and on boulders and logs in montane forest, which suggests a shade-loving plant that needs constant moisture. There is almost no published cultivation information, so treat this profile as a careful starting point.

Where it grows wild

Recorded on rocks along rivers (Río Atirro, Río Navarro, Río Cobán) and on boulders and logs in montane forest (Cerro de la Neblina). This fits a lithophytic or low-epiphytic herb of shaded, splash-humid streamside forest.

Collections span about 450-1,450 m, mostly 850-1,450 m on the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica's Central Cordillera and Talamanca foothills.
