Yes it is Piper mullesua.
May I get this specimen? As the mullesua is a complex species, I am trying to resolve the problem.

Regarding the specimen it is from the Botanical garden and I need permission for that as well as sending it from Nepal to India. I shall look into the possibility.

Which Piper ??
Its a P. mullesua but with ill developed spikes. In some of the population P. mullesu shows this form.

My question. if something is ill developed and we only have one spike. how does one determine the species.

I agree with you … that given a POPULATION OF SEVERAL SPIKESand if one or two are ill formed or ill developed, it could still be the species we have in mind….
one could surmise that the given specimen is indeed the species in mind. but just one spike?
Male plant
