Such a family has been recognized by most taxonomists: it is sometimes known as the "pepper family". The best known species is ''[[Piper nigrum]]'', which yields the most famous peppercorns used as a spice, including "black pepper", although its cousins in the famly include many other spices. The [[APG II system]], of 2003 (unchanged from the [[APG system]], of 1998), also recognizes this family, and assigns it to the order [[Piperales]] in the clade '''[[magnoliids]]'''. The family consists of about a dozen genera, totalling two to three thousand species of usually aromatic plants. The best known genera are ''[[Peperomia]]'' and ''[[Piper (genus)|Piper]]''. ==External links== *[http://delta-intkey.com/angio/ The families of flowering plants]: descriptions, illustrations, identification, information retrieval. * [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=10692 Piperaceae in the ''Flora of North America''] * [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=10692 Piperaceae in the ''Flora of China''] * [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Tree&id=16739&lvl=3&lin=f&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock NCBI Taxonomy Browser] [[Category:Plant families]] [[Category:Piperales]] [[Category:Piperaceae| ]] [[ca:Piperàcia]] [[da:Peber-familien]] [[de:Pfeffergewächse]] [[es:Piperaceae]] [[eo:Piprujacoj]] [[fr:Piperaceae]] [[hsb:Popjerjowcowe rostliny]] [[id:Sirih-sirihan]] [[he:פלפליים]] [[lt:Pipiriniai]] [[hu:Borsfélék]] [[nl:Piperaceae]] [[ja:コショウ科]] [[no:Pepperfamilien]] [[pl:Pieprzowate]] [[pt:Piperaceae]] [[ro:Piperaceae]] [[ru:Перечные]] [[sr:Piperaceae]] [[tr:Karabibergiller]] [[vi:Họ Hồ tiêu]] [[zh:胡椒科]]
