Three *Peperomia* species are known in Uttarakhand. These can be
differentiated as:
1A. Leaves alternate, thin, membranous
.............................................................................*P.
pellucida*
1B. Leaves whorled, thick
......................................................................................................................................2
2A. Glabrous, diffusely branched, creeping herbs; leaves oblong or
obcuneate ...........*P. heyneana*
2B. Pubescent, densely branched, leafy and tufted herbs; leaves
orbicular ...................*P. tetraphylla*
The species here seems to me as *P. heyneana* which is known to occur in
1400- 2000m altitude range.
