Description
The type specimen were collected at Santa Marta, Colombia, at an elevation of 5000 feet. Peperomia puberulilimba has puberulous branchlets, rooting below, with the branchlets apparently erect, with the spike about 15 cm long, about 1 mm thick, flattened when dry. The leaves are alternate with moderate petioles 8–11 mm long, puberulous; the blade is ovate, unequal at the base, subacute at the apex, membranaceous when dry, puberulous on both sides, up to about 17 mm long and 13 mm wide, 3–5-nerved; the peduncle exceeds the petiole, puberulous, 2.5 cm long. The spike is terminal, mature, nearly exceeding the leaf blade, glabrous and sublaxly flowered, nearly 1 mm thick. The bract has an orbicular pelt, pedicellate at the center. The ovary is emergent, ovate, bearing a stigma at the very apex; the stigma is somewhat pilose. The mature berry is supported by a rather long process of the rachis.
