Peperomia
Peperomia
Peperomia is a genus in the family Piperaceae with about 1,000 to 1,600 species. It occurs throughout the tropics and subtropics worldwide, with most species in Central and northern South America, and Peperomia japonica reaches southern Japan. Most species are compact perennial herbs under 30 cm tall, often epiphytic, that store water in fleshy leaves and stems, unlike the mostly shrubby and climbing species of Piper. Several species are grown as houseplants, including Peperomia obtusifolia and Peperomia argyreia.
