Peperomia vestita
A small epiphytic peperomia endemic to Bolivia, recognised by leaves densely haired on both surfaces. Wild records come from the humid Yungas forests of La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz at about 550–1850 m, so it wants warm-intermediate, humid, shaded conditions. Little is published on its ecology beyond its epiphytic habit, so the targets below lean on its elevation and region.
Where it grows wild
Epiphytic in humid montane and submontane forest on the eastern Andean slopes of Bolivia (Yungas of La Paz including Madidi, Apolo, Nor and Sud Yungas and Inquisivi; Ayopaya in Cochabamba; the Bermejo area of Santa Cruz). No detailed microhabitat notes were found; small hairy peperomias in these forests typically grow on mossy trunks and branches under a broken canopy.
