Peperomia thorelii is a species of epiphyte in the genus Peperomia found in Vietnam.[1] It primarily grows on wet tropical biomes.[2] Its conservation status is Not Threatened.[3]
It was described in 1910 by Casimir de Candolle in "Flore générale de l'Indo-Chine.", from collected specimens on Vietnam in 1841. It gets its name from Clovis Thorel, an explorer of Indochina.[2]
