Tasmannia piperita is a shrub or small tree in the Winter family (Winteraceae), native to Malesia and Papuasia, and the most widespread Tasmannia species outside Australia. It is a wild forest plant rather than a common garden or houseplant, so care guidance is mostly general knowledge for a wet tropical tree.
