Hi Michael,
This is Piper porphyophyllum (Piperaceae), a member of the pepper family. It is native throughout much of Malysia and Indonesia and is occasionally seen in cultivation here in Sarawak, where it is quite a common wild species in the jungles around my house.
I am sure that I can get some cutting for you. If you would like to email me direct with your address I will contact you and arrange to get some rooted cuttings sent to you.
Very best
Peter

Subject: [Aroid-l] Stolen plant
Hello all!
My name is Michael, i have 21 years old, currently i am stdying biology and i live at Madeira Island (Portugal). I have registered to the aroid list because i really need your help regarding an aroid that was stolen from me a few weeks ago. I dont know its name, all i know is that the plant was offered to me as a gift by a friend when she visited Indonesia a couple of years ago. Last few days i have been trying to find out who stole my plant, but without sucess. I also do not know its name, but i have attached a picture of the same plant growing in the wild. If you could please help me ID it and/or tell me another source for this plant i would be very gratefull. The plant itself is not that amazing, because there are aroids a lot more beautiful than it, but anyway, it meant a lot to me and was one of my favourite plants, and now i am very sad about what happened.
Michael
