Peperomia orba 'Pixie Lime' is a variegated cultivar of Peperomia orba G.S.Bunting. This cultivar displays beautiful, subtly variegated foliage with streaks of dark green running through the lengths of the leaves.
Peperomia orba is only known from cultivation, its native range is unknown. Therefore the name is considered unplaced and unaccepted. G.S. Bunting named the plant based on samples in cultivation, obtained from greenhouses of University of Gothenburg with no knowledge of their further origins. Because of this he used the epithet orba meaning "orphan" in Latin. Before Bunting the plant was known with various names including Peperomia Astrid, Peperomia Princess Astrid, Peperomia Pixie, and Peperomia Teardrop.
Genus name comes from the Greek words peperi meaning pepper and homoios meaning resembling. The plants resemble, and are closely related to, true black pepper (Piper nigrum).
Specific epithet means blunt-leaved.
