Research On this Medicine

P. nigrum, the Black
Pepper and P. betle, the Pan or Betel are widely cultivated.
A large number of species of this genus have been recorded as occurring
wild in various tropical and sub-tropical parts of India. Some of them
are reported to be used as substitutes or adulterants of the cultivated
species like P. nigrum and P. betle. Their correct indentification and
specific delimitation are still confused and as stated by Hooker (in
Fl. Br. Ind., V, 79), only a critical study of the plants "on the spot.
with a view to matching the sexes, and flowering with fruiting
specimens and observing the transition from young to old foliage and
the effects of locality and climate on the characters of each species"
will clarify their position. It is not improbable that some of them, if
selected and propagated, may prove better than some of the cultivated
species. Chemical composition and characteristics of their fruits,
leaves and shoots are yet unknown. It has been stated that while man
adopted P. nigrum as pepper, he could have taken into use some other
species also, which are more pungent. Similarly, the fruits of many
species are used as long pepper, though their intrinsic properties are
not fully known (De Candolle, Candollea, 1922-24, 1, 65; Barber,
Agric. J. India, 1906, 1, 163; Burkill, II, 1736).
