Small Tree for ID : MNP,Mumbai : 130812 : AK-3:<\/a> <\/font>A small tree, probably a young one<\/font>, seen at<\/font> Maharashtra Nature Park, Mumbai<\/font><\/span> on 12\/8\/12.<\/font><\/div>\n

\n
Small, white, long fruits reminded me of young Jackfruit or Long Pepper.<\/font><\/div>\n
Any possible id?<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
It could be Piper dilatatum<\/i><\/i>
Isotype of plant Link: http:\/\/content63.eol.org\/content\/2012\/03\/07\/13\/31089_orig.jpg<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n
\n

Adding two more pictures of the same small tree, taken at the same place recently for confirmation of id.<\/p>\n

\n

I have reservation about the identity of the photos representing a species of Piper. Firstly, Pipers are not trees and secondly identifying it with an American species is doubly wrong. Sorry, I can not identify it.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\n

Its probably an exotic species of Piper. Indian Pipers do not have tree habit. I will try to find the name and let you know.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n
….<\/strong> Piper retrofractum<\/em> Vahl ?<\/font><\/font> <\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n
The species of Piper is an exotic one and probably of American tropics. In its morphology its looks very close to <\/span>Piper<\/font> crassinervium<\/font> <\/em><\/span><\/font>Kunth.<\/font> <\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
However because it is found in Indian gardens it may also be P. cloubrinum Link, which is found in gardens in Kerala (IISR, TBGRI, etc)<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
Fruiting bodies will be more useful for confirmation<\/p>\n
\n

<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n

\n
Thanks to you and … for the follow up and probable id of this Piper.<\/font><\/div>\n
I will try to take more pictures when I revisit the place.<\/p>\n

Requesting ID of this big shrub – MNP, Mumbai – May 2014 :: 16JUN14 :: ARK-31<\/font><\/a> : 8 posts by 3 authors. Attachments<\/span> <\/font>(6<\/span>).<\/font><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Requesting to please ID this big shrub<\/font> captured in MNP, Mumbai in May 2014.<\/font><\/div>\n
Is it some piper<\/em> species?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The photos are of Gnetum<\/em> sp. and certainly not of any species of Piper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n

It is surely Piper<\/em> species. I cannot pinpoint the species, most probably (90%) it is the South American Piper colubrinum<\/em> Link. This species was introduced into India in the late 70s . This is used as a rootstock for grafting blackpepper to develop”pepper trees”as a means of preventing the wilt disease caused by Phytophthora and nematodes. This species is immune to such pathogens. There are male and female plants, but later in the growth stages bisexual flower production and fruit and seed setting could be noticed. This is a diploid species with 2n=24\/26. (cultivated black pepper is tetraploid with 2n=48).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you … for the possible ID.<\/p>\n

Since it is a cultivated pant, I will check if I get any further information about the plant from the MNP gardeners\/authorities…<\/p>\n
\n
I have also posted the same earlier.<\/div>\n
Let me find my post and do the corrections.<\/p>\n
\n
Your post is here<\/font><\/a><\/div>\n
There too, I do not think, the ID has not been conclusively established…\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
This reminds me some exotic species of Piper<\/i>. Definitely not Zizyphus as suggested by …<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
This looks very much like Piper roxburghii<\/i>. <\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks, …, I could not find Piper roxburghii<\/i> on net. Do you mean to say it as Chavica Roxburghii<\/i>, Miquel. syn. Piper longum<\/i>, L. \u2014Common Long Pepper as per link:
http:\/\/www.henriettesherbal.com\/eclectic\/pereira\/piper-long.html<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
it seems to me Piper retrofractum<\/b> Vahl Enum. pl. 1:314. 1804
syn: Chavica officinarum<\/i>, Piper chaba, Piper officinarum<\/i>
Family: Piperaceae<\/i>
Long Pepper, Balinese Pepper<\/b>
Origin: South East Asia<\/font>

\n<\/div>\n
… I had referred to Flora of Mah., Vol IV pg: 246 which has a pic. of Piper roxburghii<\/i> Miq. The pic. matched well with the pictures uploaded. There is no\u00a0other information\u00a0 that I could find of this species in the volume.\u00a0\u00a0
Chavica roxburghii<\/i> is is the same as piper longum<\/i> L.\u00a0 The experts will have to decide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n

This should answer your question\u00a0<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.ars-grin.gov\/misc\/mmpnd\/Piper.html<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n
\n
Thanks,\u00a0…,<\/div>\n
I could not find any Piper roxburghii<\/i> Miq.
What should be the answer?<\/p>\n
\n

just check with
Piper retrofractum<\/i> Vahl Enum. pl. 1:314. 1804 in toptropical.com<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

The given website (Sorting plant names) treats\u00a0Chavica roxburghii<\/i> Miq. (This was combined as Piper<\/i> roxburghii<\/i> (Miq.) J.Presl Wseob. Rostlin. ii. 1452, 1846 according to IPNI records) as synonym of Piper longum<\/i> L.<\/p>\n

\n

I think it may be Piper divaricatum<\/em><\/font><\/a>\u00a0as per details herein, as per other posts identified from MNP.<\/p>\n

\n

I guess ID is correct\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
