Peperomia pellucida (also known by common names pepper elder, shining bush plant, crab claw herb, and man to man) is an annual, shallow-rooted herb, usually growing to a height of about 15 to 45 cm (6 to 18 inches), it is characterized by succulent stems, shiny, heart-shaped, fleshy leaves and tiny, dot-like seeds attached to several fruiting spikes.
The genus name Peperomia was coined by Spanish botanists Ruiz López and Pavón Jiménez in 1794 after their travels in Peru and Chile. [5] Peperomia plants do not have a widely- accepted common name, and some argue that it is better to use the genus name, as is the case with genera such as Petunia and Begonia. [6]
Peperomia argyreia, the watermelon peperomia, is a species of flowering plant in the pepper family Piperaceae, native to northern South America, including Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The plant is not closely related to either watermelons or begonias. These terms relate to the shape, markings and texture of the leaves.
Peperomia kimnachii is a perennial shrub that puts out several branching shoots that can be over a meter in length. These creep prostrate and can root at the nodes, climbing onto surrounding plants or hang down. Its round (often slightly angled) internodes are elongated, 10 to 15 cm long and 5 to 10 mm thick, purple-red at the base and green above.
Peperomia magnoliifolia, commonly known as the spoonleaf peperomia, [1] is a species of plant in the genus Peperomia. Its native range reaches from parts of southern Florida and Mexico to the Caribbean and northern South America including Uruguay .
Peperomia ferreyrae is a species of plant in the genus Peperomia native to Peru. [1] It is a small, succulent herb, growing erect to about 20 cm in height. The alternating, typically 3 to 5 cm long leaves, are in the form of tubes resembling green bean pods: U-shaped in cross-section with epidermal windows on the top-side.
Peperomia serpens is a separate species with slightly more rounded leaves and its native region reaches further north to Mexico. [4] The title scandens is occasionally applied to both, perhaps because both are vining plants (latin term scandens means "climbing"), but officially Peperomia scandens is considered a synonym for Peperomia serpens.
