Piper sylvaticum is a climbing plant in the pepper family, found in the northeast of the Indian subcontinent and in China. Its fruits are used in traditional medicine. The plant has distinctive features such as finely powdered leaves and yellow flowers. It was first described in 1820 and is native to Bangladesh and the Eastern Himalaya region. It grows in wet places within forests and is used as a vegetable and for medicinal purposes. The Monpa people of Tibet use it as an anti-inflammatory, and it has been found to have bioactive properties.
