Piper borbonense explained
Piper borbonense is a species of plant in the genus Piper. A close relative of black pepper, its berries are used as a spice known as voatsiperifery, which comes from voa, the Malagasy word for fruit, and tsiperifery, the local name of the plant.[1] [2] A wild pepper, it grows in Madagascar.[3] It can reach up to 20 metres and needs a natural plant support.
