Botany

Native to southwestern India, pepper is widely cultivated in tropical countries (particularly India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Madagascar).
It consists of a perennial, woody tendril up to five meters tall, with leathery, heart-shaped leaves and small white flowers. The fruit is a berry containing a single drupe.
