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. They are concentrated in South and Central America, but may also be found in southern North America, the Caribbean islands, Africa, Oceania, and southern and eastern parts of Asia. The exact number of species is difficult to determine, 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 appearances vary greatly. Some are epiphytes or lithophytes, and many are xerophytes or possess underground tubers (geophytes). Most species are compact perennial shrubs or vines.
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.

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 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 umbilicata 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 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. 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 monticola is a species of plant in the genus Peperomia. It's endemic to Mexico. It is a geophytic plant, storing water and reserves in an underground tuber.
