Peperomia angustata, common over much of its distribution area, is a perennial plant species which is herbaceous with succulent leaves, and which climbs in trees or trails on the ground. Here are other notable features: Branching stems reach about 30 cm (12 in) long and tend to be 6-angled. Leaves arise in groups of 3-6 with petioles up to 70 mm (3 in) long and blades generally rhombic in shape up to 5 cm (2 in) long and about half as wide. Blades have 3-5 nerves radiating from the base. Inflorescences are single spikes at branch tips, with peduncles up to 3 cm (1 in) long and the flowering part up to 30 cm (12 in) long, but only up to about 2 mm (1⁄8 in) wide. The flowering part is covered with tiny scale-like bracts, each associated with a flower. As in all species of the family, the flowers are very small and much simplified, with no sepals and no corolla, but with two stamens and an ovary. Egg-shaped, one-seeded, drupe-type fruits commonly known a peppercorns are up to 1.4 mm (1⁄16 in) high and a little less wide, thus too small to grind as a spice. When mature they are dark brown to black.
