Dear Dr. Gurucharn Singh ji, I am should I say excited by the enthusiasm of the accomplished members of the group. As everyone in the group knows that I am a novice in the field, I am thrilled like a schoolboy who is attending the first few days of college. Your description of the breath of the leaves and the petiole intrigues me. I have seen piper nigrum vines with broader leaves (Paniyur variety), and narrow leaves like what the local call by different names like otte thiri etc. Longer leaves of varieties like balankotta. However they are all piper nigrum are they not? Please enlighten me. Regards Yazdy
