Smith<br /> }}<br /> '''''Tasmannia stipitata''''', '''Dorrigo Pepper''' or '''Northern Pepperbush''' is a [[rainforest]] shrub of [[temperate]] forests of the Northern Tablelands of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. Leaves are fragrant, narrow-lanceolate to narrow-elliptic, 8-13 cm long. Dark bluish to mauve berries follow the flowers on female shrubs. The species is [[dioecious]], with male and female flowers on separate plants.<br /> <br /> ==Culinary Use==<br /> The culinary qualities of ''T. stipitata'' were discovered by Aboriginal Australians.{{Fact|date=September 2007}} It gained wider recognition in the mid-1980s thanks to horticulturist, [[Peter Hardwick]], who gave it the name 'Dorrigo pepper', and [[Jean-Paul Bruneteau]], then chef at Rowntress Restaurant, Sydney.<br /> <br /> Dorrigo pepper has a woody peppery note in the leaves and fruit/seed. The hot peppery flavor is derived from [[polygodial]], an [[essential oil]] component.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * Bruneteau, Jean-Paul, ''Tukka - Real Australian Food'', ISBN 0-207-18966-8<br /> * Harden, G.J., ''Flora of New South Wales, Volume 1'', ISBN 0-86840-164-1<br /> <br /> [[Category:Bushfood]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of New South Wales]]<br /> [[Category:Canellales]]</div>
