Peperomia vidaliana

A little-known Peruvian Peperomia, described from specimens collected in 1876–1877 by M. Vidal-Sénège. It is a slender, hairless herb with alternate, oval to lance-shaped leaves about 5.5 cm long and thin flower spikes. Almost nothing is published about its habitat, so grow it like a typical humid-forest peperomia and adjust to how your plant responds.

Where it grows wild

Not documented in the sources we could reach. The slender-stemmed, thin-leaved habit suggests a herb of humid, shaded forest, on the ground, on mossy rocks or low on trunks, like many Peruvian peperomias.

Unknown; no elevation data was available for this species.
