Peperomia pubiramea is a rather large, pendulous, epiphytic herb with somewhat slender, long internodes that are microscopically crisp-puberulous. The alternate leaves are elliptic, narrowly acuminate, with a somewhat acute base, measuring 12âÂÂ15 cm long and 5âÂÂ6 cm wide. They are pinnately nerved from the lower half, very sparsely minutely pilose beneath, and when dry are thin and pellucid. The petiole is 10âÂÂ15 mm long. The spikes are borne in pairs, terminating narrowly 2-bracteate sympodial branchlets. They are 150 mm long and 2âÂÂ3 mm thick, with a 15 mm peduncle. The berries are oblong, acutely and obliquely shielded, with the stigma inserted on the shield.
It was described in 1936 by William Trelease in ', from specimens collected by Ellsworth Paine Killip & Albert Charles Smith.
The epithet combines The Latin pubis and rameus, meaning "with hairy branches," referring to the minute crisp pubescence on the branchlets and internodes.
It is native to Peru. It grows as a terrestrial or epiphytic herb. It grows on wet tropical biomes.
