Dear all,

This succulent herb was also shot from the same locality as uploaded in another thread moments ago..near village Shilling...the leaves 4 at each node, but the colour, shape and size different..also they are unequal...second Peperomia sp. perhaps..I am enclosing joint shots for comparison of the two in this mail...

Thanks Sir...through available pics P. heyneana seems to have three leaves per node, this one has four...should we reconsider..
