Piper parmatum, also known as "Pipalum" or "Himalayan Peperomia", is a rare tropical plant prized for its distinctive, deepy ridged, and textured leaves. Originating from Central and South America, particularly Panama, it's a compact plant with a unique growth habit, often described as a shrub that can also be trained to climb. It is known for its striking foliage, which can darken to an almost black color as it matures.
