Piper mestonii, also known as Queensland long pepper, is a type of evergreen vine in the pepper family native to New Guinea and Queensland, Australia. It has a stem diameter of up to 4 cm and ovate leaves with 2-3 pairs of lateral veins. The plant is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants. The fruit is a cylindrical infructescence that turns bright red when ripe. Flowering occurs in September and April, and fruits ripen between August and October. This species was first described by botanist Frederick Manson Bailey during an expedition in the Bellenden Ker Range in 1889. It is named after the leader of the expedition, Archibald Meston. Piper mestonii is found in New Guinea and a small area of northeastern Queensland, growing in rainforests near creeks and rivers. It is listed as near threatened by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science due to its limited distribution.
