I have a few Peperomia plants with ID's but this particular one I don't have a clue as to the correct species.

This is an Exotic Angel Plant labeled Peperomia orba ("Teardrop Peperomia") but I don't think that is correct. I searched KEW and The Catalogue of Life and can't find a Peperomia with the species name of orba. Anyone recognize it? For the time being I've uploaded them to the database in the general Peperomia entry.

Shrug! Confused The good old Plant List says Peperomia orba G.S.Bunting is an unresolved name:

It sure looks like some of the pictures when I google Peperomia Pixie but nothing comes up for orba as an accepted species.

Lin, I found a number of references to Peperomia orba. I can't vouch for the validity of them all, but perhaps someone is correct?? Whistling

As you may have noticed, there are cultivars also listed as Peperomia orba, like Princess Astrid in the US Botanic Garden

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jean, I saw a few of those sites but I don't know the validity of how accurate they are either so I just added my photos to the general Peperomia entry in the database.
