Peperomia eburnea is a species of plant in the genus Peperomia native to Colombia and Ecuador.[1] It has a creeping or trailing growth habit, and grows in wet tropical biomes. Its foliage is green, and often has a single white stripe, along with red spotted backs of the leaves.[2] Sodiro, who collected the type specimen for this species, described the red-mottled variant as maculata,[3] but this variety is not scientifically accepted.
