Peperomia weberbaueri
A Peruvian peperomia named after the botanist August Weberbauer, known from very few herbarium specimens in northern Peru. The label of one specimen, from about 1,000 m in Chachapoyas Province, Amazonas, records it on a dry open cliff along a road. The valleys there are seasonally dry, so this may be a brighter, drier plant than its terrarium category suggests. Published information is very thin.
Where it grows wild
The only habitat note found is from a specimen growing on a dry, open cliff beside a road. That suggests a lithophyte of rock faces in the seasonally dry inter-Andean valleys, but the evidence is one label.
Wikipedia mentions specimens at about 1,600 m, and a specimen label gives 1,000 m in Chachapoyas Province. This suggests lower to mid-montane elevations of roughly 1,000–1,600 m.
