Peperomia villipetiola

A stemless peperomia endemic to Peru, with long-stalked, rounded, heart-based leaves that are softly hairy underneath, and thin spikes of tiny white flowers. It is poorly documented: there is no published habitat, elevation or wild record, so the care below is inferred from its genus and treated as tentative.
