Piper, Linn. From pippul, a Bengalese name, or 
pepto, to digest. Linn. 2, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Piperaceae. 
All the species of this interesting genus flourish in 
a mixture of loam and peat, requiring but little 
water ; th^ are multiplied with facility by cut- 
tings and suckers. The well-known pepper of the 
shops is principally produced by P. nigrum. P. 
Belle furnishes the Betle-leaf of the Southern 
Asiatics, in which they inclose a few slices of 
the Areca-nut, and a little shell lime; this they 
chew to sweeten the breath, and to keep off the 
pangs of hunger, and such is the immense consump- 
tion of this luxury in the East, that it nearly forms 
as extensive an article of commerce as that of 
tobacco in the West.
