The first specimens where collected in Brazil.[4]
Peperomia trichocarpa has leaves that are ternate or quadrilateral, shortly petiolate, lanceolate-elliptic with an obtuse apex. Its leaves has a narrow base that has hair growth in both sides, single-nerved, with an etiolate hair growth. Itsflower submerged. Its berry is a hairy ovate-acuminate.[4]
It is a herb, dichotomously branched, decumbent and rooting. The stem and branchlets are reddish. The limbs are 0.01 cm long and 0.003-0.004 cm wide. The petioles 0.0001-0.002 cm long.[4]
