P. magnoliifolia is sometimes confused with Peperomia obtusifolia, and some earlier botanists considered these two names merely synonyms for the same species. As dried specimens the plants can look highly similar but the differences can be seen more easily from living plants: P. obtusifolia leaves are waxy while P. mangoliifolia leaves are considered fleshy. But because of the confusion plants in collections or being sold might continue to be falsely labelled.[3]
