Peperomia hallieri is a species of epiphyte in the genus Peperomia that is native to Java.[1][2] It grows on wet tropical biomes.[1] Its conservation status is Threatened.[3]
Description
The type specimen were collected on Mount Gedeh, Java.[4]
Peperomia hallieri is a creeping herb among mosses, with a glabrous stem up to 1 mm thick when dry; the flowering branches with spikes are about 4 cm long. The leaves are alternate with moderate glabrous petioles nearly 4 mm long; the blade is elliptic, acute at the base, obtuse at the apex, rigid when dry, fleshy when living, shiny and dark green above, up to 2 cm long and 1.5 cm wide, 3-nerved. The peduncles are glabrous, 7 mm long, much longer than the petioles. The spikes are terminal, nearly equaling the leaves, filiform, densely flowered, glabrous. The bract has a round pelt, shortly pedicellate at the center, 0.5 mm in diameter. The ovary is emergent, ovate, bearing a stigma at the very apex; the stigma is somewhat pilose. The berry is sub-obovate-globose, smooth, straightly mucronulate at the apex, 0.75 mm long.[4]
Taxonomy and naming
It was described in 1920 by Casimir de Candolle in the Annuaire du Conservatoire et du Jardin botaniques de Genève, from specimens collected by Johannes Gottfried Hallier.[4] It was named in honor of the collector Hallier. The synonym Peperomia candida Koord. was published earlier in Tip. van Java p. 64 p.p.[4]
Distribution and habitat
It is native to Java.[2] It grows as a epiphyte and is a herb.[1][4] It grows on wet tropical biomes.[1]
Conservation
