Peperomia brachyphylla, also known as the 'Rabbit Foot' or 'Mermaid's Tears', is a species of flowering plant in the family Piperaceae, native to the tropical regions of Central and South America.

Traditionally, the plant has been used for its medicinal properties, which include anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, and is believed to help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and insomnia.
