Hi, Sry for the late response. My identification was based on what was available in google search. One key identification was the 'tail', which was missing in the picture. But when you sent in the link, then I got confused. I feel that Piper longum has a longer 'pod' than Piper cubeba. Additional information is needed before this variety is confirmed. I do have a question though: Again based on google search, its geographical distribution is south east asia. Though our North Eastern region can be considered as a continuum of the South East Asian bio-geographical zone (roughly speaking), is Piper cubeba found in North EAst? One interenet search stated that Mysore was the location of the photograph! Perhaps the experts in this group can throw some light on this. Thanks for posting this, it has opened up a whole new world of Pipers!! Such incredible variety. Janaki Turaga
