This member of the Peperomiaceae family was given this name by Guido Mathieu in 2011. It is found in southern Bolivia at 2900 metres height. It is found in an area with a rather dry, rocky soil with little to some water and some to lots of sun. The caudex can grow to four centimetres in diameter. The leaves reach ten centimetres and with the greenish  flowers, the plant reach 20 centimetres.

The genera name means 'pepper-like', not as to appearance but as to kinship. The species name referring to the pattern on the leaves.

')Accordantly to the latest taxonomic system; APG IV 2016 is Peperomiaceae now part of the Piperaceae.
