Peperomia tenuiramea is a species of epiphyte in the genus Peperomia. Its Conservation Status is Not Threatened.
Description
First specimens were collected at Huamalies, at the 600-700 metres elevation.
Its dry stems are about 3 millimetres thick. The leaves alternate. Dry, stiff limbs can measure up to 19 1/2 cm in length and 7 1/2 cm in width. petioles as large as three centimetres.
Glabrous, with long petioled lanceolate leaves, sending 6-7 thin veins on both sides of the central nerve beyond 1/2 its length; branches of spiciferis aphyllis with opposite leaves bearing spikes of 2-3 long lanceolate scales, peduncles much shorter than petioles, spikes slightly exceeding the limbs of densiflora; orbicular plate pedicellate in the centre; anthers elliptic with very short filaments; the ovary emerged above the scutellum, the oblong scutellum pointed at the tip, the stigma inserted below the middle of the scutellum, minute; berry elliptic, strewn with glands at the apex, and sat far down-curved.
