This member of the Peperomiaceae*
family
was given this name by Guido Mathieu in 2011. It is found in central Mexico, growing in a well drained soil with
quite some water and none to little sun. The caudex can grow to
five centimetres in diameter, the entire plant
to 25 centimetres in height. The flowers are greenish.
The genera name means
'pepper-like', not as to appearance but as to kinship. The species
name means 'ample, spacious, broad', as it is bolder than the
original species.
')Accordantly to the latest taxonomic system; APG IV 2016 is
Peperomiaceae
now part of
the Piperaceae. |
