This member of the
Peperomiaceae family was given this name by Arthur William Hill in
1907. It is only found in Bolivia, growing in a rich soil with some
water and little to some sun. The plant appears to grow rather flat,
only three centimetres high with a span of 20 centimetres. The up to
six centimetre caudex, which sits just under the surface can be
exposed. The inflorescence are green.
The genera name means
'pepper-like', not as to appearance but as to kinship. The species
name means 'Cyclamen- like'.
')Accordantly to the latest taxonomic system; APG IV 2016 is
Peperomiaceae
now part of
the Piperaceae.
It might grow all year
or even at wintertime, given the right conditions. |
