The largest number of Piper species are found in the Americas (about 700 species), with about 300 species from Southern Asia. There are smaller groups of species from the South Pacific (about 40 species) and Africa (about 15 species). The American, Asian, and South Pacific groups each appear to be monophyletic ; the affinity of the African species is unclear.[ 1]
Some species are sometimes segregated into the genera Pothomorphe , Macropiper , Ottonia , Arctottonia , Sarcorhachis , Trianaeopiper , and Zippelia , but other sources keep them in Piper .[ 1]
