message: I hate to say, but I think long pepper bears no botanical resemblance to black pepper, being the seed-head of a short shrub more akin to the american chilli plant than to the straggling south Indian pepper vine.
Read John Keay's "the Spice Route" page 34.
Since I'm not 101 % shure I thought I'd let you know this way.

replies: text: Both black pepper and long pepper come from species of Piper (Piperaceae), so they are very closely related botanically.  American chili plants belong to the genus Capsicum in the potato family (Solanaceae). --EncycloPetey 21:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Other internet sources describe ganthoda or ghantoda (probably both legitimate transcriptions) as valerian root.
Indian shops here (New Zealand) sell ghantoda as a small thin dried rhizome or ground as powder.  It has a sourish flavour which is detectable in some Indian dishes.  It is certainly NOT a hot spice as "long pepper" appears to be.  It is reportedly carminative (good for flatulence).
There appear to be two different spices which Wikipedia has conflated.  I can't give references owing to the paucity of material on the internet, but feel sure Wikipedia has missed something.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.99.84.201 (talk) 05:58, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ambiguity 

message: The photo in question is labelled as being P. longum syn. P. retrofractum, P. retrofractum is not synonymous with P. longum for a start, then there's the fact that the plant in the photo bears little resemblance to P. longum as seen in the taxobox illustration, or indeed various searches, it does look a bit like P. retrofractum though, if someone can verify that it is indeed retrofractum then it might be worth using it on the Piper retrofractum page, as that also uses a photo which bears no resemblance to the target species.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.8.220.119 (talk) 01:15, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrongly identified photo 

message: My wife is dying of cancer and I came across news from U. Windsor, Canada, that they have discovered that the crude extract of long peppers causes cancer cell apoptosis (cellular suicide) without damaging healthy cells.  A study in the 1960's identified this plant as having cancer-fighting abilities, but they used a pure extract.  The research at U.W. indicates that the crude extract is much more effective.  This was in 2015, I think.  Feel free to check it out http://www.uwindsor.ca
The Indonesian version of this page has links to resources, too.  ReveurGAM (talk) 03:58, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I removed three external links. The first was a recipe book which are never listed per WP:NOTMANUAL, the second was an oddly formatted "how to grow peppers in a pot", also excluded per WP:NOTMANUAL and the third, which has been attached to the article since its inception, was a book on Ayurveda -"as well as a discussion of health benefits and usage in clinical practice." which is a big no-no with regards to WP:MEDRS. Having discounted any value in any of these, that provided an opportunity to tidy up the headings and concert "Notes" into "References" which is what it actually is.  Velella  Velella Talk   21:27, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
