Peperomia trianae is a species of epiphyte in the genus Peperomia.[1][2] Its Conservation Status is Not Threatened.[3]
Description
[edit]The first specimens where collected at 750 metres elevation on Antahuacana.[4]
Peperomia tenuipeduncula is filiform clusters adorn the stem and branches of the ternis-quaternae plant; the leaves are shortly petiolate, with a limb from the base that is acute, elliptic-obovate tip rounded or at least obtuse, and three veins; the petiole is densely hairy, while the above is glabrous. The terminal peduncle is hairy, exceeding the petiole multiple times, followed by a glabrous spike several times beyond the filiform densiflora leaf; the bracts are pelta, elliptic crenulate above the pedicellate centre, the anthers are tiny, the ovary emerges ovate-oblong, and the summon tip is stigmatiferous, while the stigma is glabrous.[4]
It is a creeper plant. internodes 2.5 cm long, stem 0.5 mm thick. spiky branches around 20 centimetres long with a spicy tip. Dry membranous punctulate limbs measure 2.5 centimetres in length. Bracts are 0.5 millimetres long, flowering spikes are around 7 centimetres long, and they are 0.5 millimetres thick.[4]
Taxonomy and naming
[edit]It was described in 1914 by Casimir de Candolle in "Repertorium Specierum Novarum Regni Vegetabilis.", from collected specimens by Otto August Buchtien in 1909.[1][2][5] It gets its name from Tenui + peduncula, which means Thin stalk.[4]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]It is endemic to Bolivia. [1][2] It grows on epiphyte environment and is a vine.[4]
