Peperomia puberuliformis or Peperomia puberulaeformis is a species of terrestrial or epiphytic herb in the genus Peperomia that is native to Peru. It grows on wet tropical biomes. Its conservation status is threatened.
The type specimen were collected at Kimpitiriki, Peru at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level.
Peperomia puberuliformis is a medium-sized, glabrous, epiphytic, tree-dwelling herb with a short stem arising from a thick rhizome and erect. The few leaves are elliptic, obtuse, apparently rounded at the base and peltate, measuring 6 cm long and 4 cm wide. When dry, they are green, very thin, translucent, and about 7-nerved. The petiole is 3 cm long. The spikes are 150 mm long and 2 mm thick, succulent, with a peduncle 2âÂÂ4 cm long. The ovary is ovoid, narrowed below a subcapitate stigma.
It was described in 1936 by William Trelease in ', from specimens collected by Ellsworth Paine Killip & Albert Charles Smith.
The epithet combines puberulus (minutely pubescent) and -formis (shaped), referring to the resemblance of this species to others in the puberula group, despite being largely glabrous.
It is native to Peru. It grows as a terrestrial or epiphytic herb. It grows on wet tropical biomes.
This species has been assessed as threatened in a preliminary report.
