Piper sp. Indonesia 'Pink' is an undescribed yet Piper species which bears a striking resemblance to the Sulawesi indigenous Piper ornatum N.E.Br. There are, however, quite noticable differences: its leaves are much more petite, measuring approximately 6cm in length and width, featuring a delightful round shape, lustrous sheen, and a plumper, more succulent texture. Furthermore, this particular pepper cultivar displays a more pronounced metallic pink marbling compared to its counterpart, Piper ornatum. Recommended for terrarium culture.
Genus name: Latin piper, form Ancient Greek πέπερι (péperi, “pepper”), form Sanskrit पिप्पलि (pippali, “Piper longum”).
