Piper boehmeriifolium photographed in Kalimpong, West Bengal.
Not sure if wild or cultivated.

I am not sure as per GBIF

Yes it is Piper borhmeriifoliim
It is Piper betleoides C. Dc, not P. boehmeriaefolium

  • Kali mirch? 
    I think Piper sp.
    Piper kadsura (Choisy) Ohwi  ???

    We do not have this species (Piper kadsura) so far in efi. Also it is not distributed in India as per Flora of China
    Was it cultivated ?

    Can it be Piper cubeba?
    It was also found in a roadside and all fruits are dangling downwards.
    I could not guess.
    It is very difficult to identify Piper spp. from photos. 
    Piper kadsura does not occur in India. It is a Chinese / SEA species. 
    Most probably it is male plant of P. betleoides C. DC although found in most of the places of north east (including north bengal & Assam) but rarely reported. Mostly reported in other names.

    Thank you ... By the way could it be Piper pedicellatum ?? 

    Thanks, ..., ..., the expert on this family.
    If you are not agreeing with his id of P. betleoides, pl. let us know the reasons. 

    ... has just shown probability only not confirmed so I suggested
    could it be that one as per google image. That means it is definitely P. betleoides C. D.

    Which Piper?

    Thanks, ..., I think it may be very difficult to id Piper based on leaf only.
    Yes .... I had suggested accordingly!
    Its look Piper betleoides C. DC
    Thank you ...!
    Distribution in Nepal is not mentioned anywhere!
    Please try to collect more parts for final ID. If you get fl/fr please send me.
    OK sir. But it has not flowered yet. What is the phenology ?
