The artificial hybrid variety Peperomia 'Hope' (a cross between P. deppeana and P. quadrifolia)[3] shares a superficial similarity with P. boivinii and these two are sometimes mixed. However, P. boivinii is clearly more of a succulent variety with stockier and thicker leaves. In addition, the leaves of Peperomia 'Hope' show a more distinct venation while P. boivinii leaves can be rather uniform matt olive green.
