Peperomia trifolia is a species of plant in the genus Peperomia . Its native range covers the Lesser Antilles and Trinidad. [1]
Peperomia is one of the two large genera of the family Piperaceae. It is estimated that there are at least over 1,000 species, occurring in all tropical and subtropical regions of the world, though concentrated in Central America and northern South America. A limited number of species are found in Africa. The exact number is difficult to tell as some plants have been recorded several times with different names and new species continue to be discovered. Peperomias have adapted to many different environments and their appearance varies greatly. Some are epiphytes or lithophytes, and many are xerophytes (drought-tolerant) either with thick succulent structures or with underground tubers (geophytes). Most species are compact perennial shrubs or vines.
Staphylea trifolia, the American bladdernut, is native to eastern North America, from southern Ontario and southwestern Quebec west to Nebraska and Arkansas, and south to Florida. It is sometimes used as an ornamental plant.
Coptis trifolia, the threeleaf goldthread or savoyane, is a perennial plant in the genus Coptis, a member of the family Ranunculaceae. It is native to North America and Asia across the subarctic region.
Vitex trifolia, the simpleleaf chastetree, is a large coastal shrub or small tree.
Anemonoides trifolia, the three-leaved anemone, is a perennial herbaceous plant in buttercup family (Ranunculaceae).
Triphasia trifolia is a species of Triphasia in the family Rutaceae, native to tropical southeastern Asia especially in Indonesian islands and Philippines and possibly elsewhere.
Peperomia litana is a species of plant in the family Piperaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. It is a fairly small, glabrous herb with alternating subovate-elliptic leaves measuring approximately 1,5 by 2,5 cm. Resembles Peperomia vallensis and Peperomia suratana but differs from these by the shape of the leaves.
Peperomia pellucida is an annual, shallow-rooted herb, usually growing to a height of about 15 to 45 cm, it is characterized by succulent stems, shiny, heart-shaped, fleshy leaves and tiny, dot-like seeds attached to several fruiting spikes. It has a mustard-like odor when crushed. The family Piperaceae comprises about a dozen genera and around 3000 species. The genus Peperomia represents nearly half of the Piperaceae with the genus Piper making the rest.
Peperomia wheeleri is a rare species of flowering plant in the pepper family known by the common name Wheeler's peperomia. It is endemic to Puerto Rico, where it is known only from the island of Culebra. It has become rare because of deforestation and grazing by livestock. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.
Peperomia tetraphylla, known as the acorn peperomia or four-leaved peperomia, is a small plant in the Peperomia genus and the Piperaceae family that grows natively in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Additionally in can found on the Easter Islands and Hawaii as introduced species.
Sagittaria trifolia, the threeleaf arrowhead or Chinese arrowhead, is a plant species widespread across the wet areas in Europe and in much of Asia.
Peperomia pernambucensis is a species of plant in the genus Peperomia in the family Piperaceae. Its native range is in Central and South America from Nicaragua to Bolivia.
Heynea trifolia is a tree in the family Meliaceae. The correct scientific name is unresolved up to date, where some name the plant as Heynea trifolia and some others as Walsura trifoliolata. The above classification is according to The Plant List. The specific epithet trifolia is due to trifoliate leaves. The plant is native to India and Sri Lanka.
Peperomia serpens, the vining peperomia, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Peperomia and family Piperaceae, native to the New World Tropics. The plant is perennial.
Peperomia nitida is a species of plant in the genus Peperomia. Its native range is in South America from Brazil to northern Argentina. It can be kept as a houseplant and is sometimes sold as cupid peperomia, or problematically as Peperomia scandens or Peperomia serpens. Peperomia serpens is a separate species with slightly more rounded leaves and its native region reaches further north to Mexico. The title scandens is occasionally applied to both, perhaps because both are vining plants, but officially Peperomia Scandens is considered a synonym for Peperomia serpens.
Peperomia macrorhiza is a species of plant in the genus Peperomia. It is endemic to Peru. It is a geophytic plant, storing water and reserves in an underground tuber. During dry periods parts above ground, such as leaves, will wither away but the plant will survive due to the tuber. When more rain falls the plant regrows its stalks and leaves on the surface.
Peperomia peruviana is a species of flowering plant in the genus Peperomia. Its native range is in South America from Colombia to northern Argentina.
Peperomia bracteata is a species of plant in the genus Peperomia. Its native range covers Mexico and Guatemala. It is a geophytic plant, storing water and reserves in an underground tuber.
