Peperomia trineura

The first specimens where collected in Brazil. Peperomia topoensis has leathery-fleshy leaves, cartilaginous in the dry, growing and rooting above mosses, with erect, and di-trichotome branches. The stem and branches are tetragonal, furrowed, glabrous, knotted, and with internodes that are 1.5-5 cm long. The leaves are 4-8 cm wide, spreading or subreflexed, often subcarinate-complex. When dry, t is rigid-cartilaginous, shiny, on both sides impressed-glandular, sometimes black-punctate, with margins, very subtly ciliolate, subindex also towards the base that are very subtly pubescentIt has hairs that are deciduous in all ages, elliptic, rhomboid or lanceolate-elliptic, on both sides alternate, equal-sided. The base is acute with an obtuse tip that is 6-9 mm long and 4-6 wide. It is three-nerved, thick veins that runs through the middle carinate-prominent beneath. Its petioles are canaliculate at the front, very subtly hairy or often glabrous, with an annulus of articulated nodes that are 1-3 mm long. The catkins at the tip are single, straight, cylindrical, erect, supported by glabrous peduncles that are 3-4 cm long, 2 mm thick. The catkins are densely flowered and glabrous. The bracts are pedicellate, subrounded, and glabrous. There are two lateral stamens. The anthers are spherical with attached locules. The ovary is immersed in the pit, subantically stigmatized at the tip. …

It is found in Ecuador and Brazil. It grows on a epiphyte environment and is a herb. It grows on wet tropical biomes.
