Not to be considered as synonym of Peperomia dendrophila Schltdl. & Cham. as was published by Callejas, 2001. P. dendrophila shows elliptic or rhombeo-elliptic to somewhat obovate leaves, with an obtuse or acute apex, rounded at the very tip. They lack the pellucid dots which characterize the leaves of P. coarctata [Mathieu, 2009, pers comm.]
