Peperomia tenella, known as the Jayuya, is a species of perennial, lithophyte or epiphyte in the genus Peperomia.[1][2] It was first described by Olof Swartz but named it Piper tenellum.[3] Albert Gottfried Dietrich then changed the species into Peperomia and published in the book "Species Plantarum. editio sexta 1: 153. 1831".[4] It primarily grows on wet tropical biomes.[1] The species name came from the Latin word wikt:tenellus, which means tender.
