I'm working on different paan leaf which is known as Piper betle. Different types/ varieties of this leaf found in my country. Therefore, I need to know if the scientific name remain same for all types of Piper betle found ot its change due to geographical and phenotypic variation.
Scientific name of a species does not depend on the variety, cultivar or the geographical place it is found. Scientific name would be same throughout the world.

The scientific name of the varieties of the same botanical species remain the same but we can add the name of the variety after the scientific name (genus and species + variety)
It seems that the same scientific name has been using for all varieties/types of PAAN. But there are so many varieties of 'paan' with different taste and sizes.
Yes, All Paan varieties have one scientific name "Piper betle L. "
