Piper novae-hollandiae
Also called Australian Pepper, Giant Pepper Vine
Piper novae-hollandiae, known as the giant pepper vine, is a common climber growing in rainforests of eastern Australia. It is related to the pepper plant. It grows north from Mount Dromedary in southern New South Wales to tropical Queensland.
First described by Dutch botanist Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel in 1866, its specific name pertains to its location in New Holland (Australia).
The giant pepper vine is usually ornamental when cultivated – it grows too rapidly and to too great a volume for the average home garden – but has been used in larger parks and gardens, and as an indoor plant.
