Peperomia pleiomorpha is a small, stoloniferous-ascending, epiphytic herb with a stem 1 mm thick, loosely and minutely pilose. The leaves on the stolons are round-obovate and minute, while those on the flowering branches are gradually larger and elliptic-ovate to lanceolate, measuring 10âÂÂ15 mm long and 3âÂÂ10 mm wide. They are obtuse with a somewhat acute base, minutely appressed-pubescent, and obscurely 3âÂÂ5-nerved. The loosely pubescent petiole is 3âÂÂ5 mm long. The spikes are 30 mm long and 1 mm thick, with rather densely inserted flowers, and are borne on a filiform, more or less pubescent peduncle 5âÂÂ10 mm long.
