This tiny member of the Peperomiaceae* family was given this name by Ricardo Callejas Posada in 2011. It is found in Costa Rica, growing in a clay-granitic soil with some water and some to lots of sun. The caudex can grow from 0,8 to 2,5 millimetres in diameter, the entire plant to three centimetres in height. The flowers are white.

The genera name means 'pepper-like', not as to appearance but as to kinship. The species name refers to the single solitary leaf of each individual plant.

')Accordantly to the latest taxonomic system; APG IV 2016 is Peperomiaceae now part of the Piperaceae.
