Thank you …! Hope to get some response from …!<\/p>\n

\n
Of course it resemble the P. suipigua<\/em> (P. nepalense<\/em>) but the spikes are still young and probably the male one.
\nFrom fuiting spike the species can easily be identified.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thank you …! Why is ACFPoN showing two separate IDs instead mentioning Syn for one?<\/p>\n

Are not such fruits found in many species of Piper?<\/p>\n

I guess not<\/p>\n

looks like Piper interruptum<\/em> !<\/p>\n

I guess this is not matching and has no distriibutin in Nepal.

ok dear …, i didn’t check the distribution i guess i may be,<\/p>\n

Yes it is a male plant and looks Piper suipigua<\/em>. It’s also close to Piper hamiltonii<\/em> where the male spike is normally shorter than suipigua.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Yes sir, sometimes it reaches upto 20cm.
\nThe leaf morphology should be compared to the female plants for 100% accuracy.<\/p>\n

Looks different from images at\u00a0Piper longum<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
Checked all sp.\u00a0Piper<\/a><\/em>\u00a0plus new one P. rhytidocarpum<\/em> Hook. f. listed in Nepal
\nand I guess it matches with Piper nigrum<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>L. Leaf looks a complete match.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Sir it could be P. mullesua<\/em>. But needs more representation.<\/p>\n

\n

But fruiting bunch looks completely different according to\u00a0Piper mullesua Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don<\/a>\u00a0and my earlier posts on\u00a0Piper mullesua<\/i><\/span>\u00a0Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don !<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Though it has got no distribution in\u00a0Nepal, could it be\u00a0Piper hymenophyllum\u00a0<\/i>Miq. ??<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Thanks, …, for high resolution detailed images<\/a>.
\nYes, appears close\u00a0to images at\u00a0Piper hymenophyllum<\/a><\/em>\u00a0<\/span>(S. India, Sri Lanka, Assam to Indo-China:\u00a0Assam, India, Laos, Sri Lanka, Vietnam\u00a0as per\u00a0POWO<\/a>)
\nBut only experts can decide in view of this complicated genus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It may not be hymenophyllum<\/em> as hymenophyllum<\/em> has longer fruiting spike and leaves are different in texture.
\nIt probably P. khasianum<\/em> C. DC<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thank you … ! I shall try to collect sp. and send you details !<\/p>\n
