'''Long pepper'''<ref name="Long pepper"/> (Piper longum), sometimes called Indian long pepper (Pipli), is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, . and cultivated for its fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. Long pepper has a taste similar to, but hotter than, that of its close relative Piper nigrum - from which black, green and white pepper are obtained.
The fruit of the pepper consists of many minuscule fruits — each about the size of a poppy seed — embedded in the surface of a flower spike that closely resembles a hazel tree catkin. Like Piper nigrum==Uses=={{Uses|Headache}}, the fruits contain the alkaloid piperine{{Uses|Toothache}}, which contributes to their pungency. Another species of long pepper{{Uses|Asthma}}, Piper retrofractum{{Uses|Bronchitis}}, is native to Java{{Uses|Cholera}}, Indonesia. The fruits of this plant are often confused with chili peppers{{Uses|Coma}}, which belong to the genus Capsicum {{Uses|Cough}}, originally from the Americas{{Uses|Diarrhea}}, {{Uses|Epilepsy}}, {{Uses|Fever}}, {{Uses|Stomach ache}}, {{Uses|Stroke}}, {{Uses|Indigestion}}.
