This member of the Peperomiaceae
family was described by Werner Rauh and Myron William Kimnach in
1987. It is found in Peru, growing in a well drained soil with
little to some water and some sun. The caudex can grow to three or
even five
centimetres, and the succulent leaves won't grow to more than three
centimetres in height, growing directly from the caudex. The flowers are pale green.
The genera name means
'pepper-like', not as to appearance but as to kinship. The species
name from Latin dola; 'hatchet' and bella; 'wars'. Odd
name for this little cute plant!
')Accordantly to the latest taxonomic system; APG IV 2016 is
Peperomiaceae
now part of
the Piperaceae. |
