Peperomia yutajensis

A Peperomia described in 1984 from Venezuela, known from a single wild record near Cerro Yutajé, a tepui in Amazonas state, at about 1800 m. Nothing is published on its ecology; the measured site is cool and very wet for most of the year, so treat it as a highland terrarium plant.
