Peperomia subpetiolata
Also called 'ala 'ala Wai Nui, `ala `ala Wai Nui
Peperomia subpetiolata, known as Waikamoi peperomia, is a small endemic Hawaiian shrub-like plant in the pepper family that grows in wet tropical montane habitats; the sources describe a related Peperomia sneidernii as a small herb, so the description is partly mixed. It is rare and listed as threatened, so it is seldom grown and cultivation advice is limited.
